Bing

What it is

Microsoft's search engine. Bing result links point at a click-tracking address, www.bing.com/ck/a?..., which forwards the visitor to your page.

Why there's no full URL

Bing sets an origin-when-cross-origin policy, so other sites get only https://www.bing.com/ and never the query or the /ck/a path.

What traffic it represents

Organic and other clicks from Bing search results.
