I host a page, you load the page and it has 5 links on it. You can click on any, all or none of the links and my server would have no knowledge of it because after the page has loaded that’s our communication finished. All my server can log is that you loaded the page with the links on it and they were sent to you. What you do with that is up to you.

JS or manipulating the links would allow me to track which ones you have clicked.
