Unknown Referrers

When a referrer doesn't match any known source, it's categorized as:

{
  referrer_source: "example",     // First part of domain
  referrer_medium: "referral"     // Generic referral medium
}

Direct Traffic

When there's no referrer (user typed URL directly or clicked a bookmark):

{
  referrer_source: "direct",
  referrer_medium: "none"
}
