Use the nifty Referral Source extension. Here's how it works: https://civicrm.org/blog/stoob/new-ways-track-referral-source.

If you are wanting to use in combination with checksum build your URL e.g.

https://example.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=IDNUMBER&source=AndyBurns&{contact.checksum}&cid={contact.contact_id}
