Issue Summary

When visiting a link in Confluence to an external site, the referrer header is cut down to just the base URL of the referred URL. For example:

https://mysite.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/~[specific page] becomes https://mysite.atlassian.net/

When visiting a link in Jira Cloud to an external site (such as from a comment in the issue view), the referrer header doesn't exist.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add a link to a Confluence page or Jira Cloud issue that navigates to an external website
2. Visit the website, and view the referrer headers

Expected Results

• Referrer header to provide exactly where the user came from when visiting an external site
  • Links in the issue view of Jira projects should use the strict-origin Referrer-Policy so that application owners know when users navigated to the application from an Atlassian product.

Actual Results

• Depending on the product, the URL is either shortened down to the base URL, or the referrer header doesn't exist.

Workaround

Currently, there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
