The third option is to redirect to "clean" location immediately after you received GET request with query parameters. You can see example here: http://www.superinterface.com/mailreader Hover over language options, the links contain query parameters like this: <p>Choose Language<br/> <a href="/mailreader/Home.do?DIALOG-EVENT-LOCALE=1&language=en">English</a><br/> <a href="/mailreader/Home.do?DIALOG-EVENT-LOCALE=1&language=ru">Russian</a> </p> Select a language and then check the address bar: it will be "clean", containing only /Home.do with no parameters.
