What are all those parameters in an Amazon affiliate/associate link?

I've found this link, I was wondering what were all those parameters in the URL (removed the & and broke them into separate lines for readability):

https://www.amazon.com/Backseat-Organizer-Protector-Storage-Organizers/dp/B071Y6F4SR/

ref=as_li_ss_tl ---> This seems to be in every Amazon affiliate link

smid=A2AMCOIC0OKFCA ---> Is this the product category ID?

pf_rd_p=695f29ac-ec28-4005-ae23-4a6ff667d724

pf_rd_s=slot-4

pf_rd_t=701

pf_rd_i=gb_main

pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

pf_rd_r=1Z9QWS8H760T7QX98SV2

linkCode=sl1

tag=xxxxxxx-20 ---> This is the ID for the Amazon affiliate, who's posted the link

linkId=96f85c1971c0eb3edcf31e3faf903aea

utm_content=buffer9bbb8

utm_medium=social

utm_source=twitter.com ---> The original link was posted to Twitter, so I guess this is for tracking and metrics

utm_campaign=buffer ---> This seems to indicate that the message originated from buffer social media tool
