Finding a way to track click throughs without losing http_referer

What I'm looking for is a new way to register the click through as is done currently but also redirect the click through in a way that lets the receiving website see it.

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
	$('a').on('click', function(e) {
		e.preventDefault();
		var me = this;
		$.ajax({
			url:'/path/to/YourComponent.cfc?method=logClick',
			data: {
                                // note - the parameter names should match the cfargument names 
				linkClicked: $(me).attr('href'),
				someParam: $(me).attr('name')
			},
			method: 'POST',
			success: function(data) {
				alert('done');
				// this is called after the script has completed and updated the database
              console.log($(me).attr('href'));
				//$(me) is the original link
			},
			error: function (content) {
		        alert(content.responseText);
		    }			
		})
	});
});
</script>                                          

<a href="http://blahblah.com name="544">Click to test</a>

<cfcomponent>
	<cffunction name="logClick" access="remote" returntype="void" output="false">
		<cfargument name="linkClicked" type="string" required="true" />
		<cfargument name="someParam" type="string" required="true" />
		
		<!--- for demo purposes, just log the values to a file --->
		<cfset local.text = now() &": linkClicked="& arguments.linkClicked &"&someParam="& arguments.someParam>
		<cffile action="append" file="c:/temp/logClick.log" output="#local.text#" />

		<!--- do database insert, etc... here ---->
