Thank you i'm afraid to modify the theme and broke everything do you think i can use a plugin like WPcode and add a footer script to load your script ?

Yes, I personally recommend https://wordpress.org/plugins/header-footer/

Thanks thats exactly the same i will try to use

I want to sent my gclid inside a hidden entry i created on Gform.

When i created the gform how do u find the id of the input u need to insert inside your script ?

I modify a little bit your script for me do you think he is good. :

function getParam(p) {
var match = RegExp('[?&]' + p + '=([^&]*)').exec(window.location.search);
return match && decodeURIComponent(match[1].replace(/+/g, ' '));
}

var gclid = getParam('gclid');
if (gclid) {
localStorage.setItem('gclid', gclid);
}

function addGclid() {
var gclidParam = getParam('gclid');
var gclidField = document.querySelector('input[name="input_109"]');
var gclid = null;

if (gclidParam) {
    localStorage.setItem('gclid', gclidParam);
    gclid = gclidParam;
} else {
    gclid = localStorage.getItem('gclid');
}

if (gclidField && gclid) {
    gclidField.value = gclid;
    console.log('Champ trouvé et valeur gclid insérée :', gclid);
} else {
    console.log('Champ non trouvé ou gclid non disponible');
}

}

I inspect the form on the site, and find the hidden input, and grab its id value. It's typically the form's ID, followed by an underscore, followed by the input's ID. So if you are working on Gravity Form #1 and on input's ID of #19, then the input should be input_1_19.
