UTM tracking are basicly just used to know the origin of the link, however they do not store personal data in it at all. So Google does not know, if I or you shared that link.

The tracking mainly works by just having Google Analytics in pretty much every website and Google reading out browser fingerprints.

Until yesterday, I knew some stuff about tracking (mainly that my ad-blocker was taking care of it), but never heard about the UTM one.

From the articles I read since, it's this UTM tracking for dummies that clarified things for me, and I think it cofirms what you say.
