LinkedIn website
What it is
LinkedIn's website. Some external links on LinkedIn pages, such as company page website links, go through linkedin.com/redir/redirect before reaching your site.
Why there's no full URL
Browsers share only the origin with other sites by default, so the profile, post or company page URL isn't included.
What traffic it represents
Clicks on links to your site from LinkedIn in a web browser.

For cross-origin requests send the origin (only) when the protocol security level stays same (HTTPS→HTTPS).
Referrer-Policy header - MDN
With this policy, only the origin is sent in the Referer header of cross-origin requests.
