DougM Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Hi everyone, Once people arrive on my website, I would like them to be redirected to a specific page but only once. This means once they visited that page and go back to the main page, I don't want them to be redirected again. So far I used this code : <script> setTimeout(function(){ window.location.href = 'https://(mywebsite)'; }, 30000); </script> But this means, once they visited the page and go back to the Main, they will be redirected again and again... Any code to add to this? Thanks Link to comment

Yes Paul I have tried but for what we need, I can't created a decent pop-up on Squarespace, so I created a Landing page. ( I need not only the email address of the visitor but also their name, phone number and more...) I would like it to appear after 30 seconds tho. Edited March 20, 2022 by DougM Link to comment
creedon Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 To make the code run only once you could use a cookie or localStorage. Instead of a one a done situation you may want to get fancier and have some kind of expiration or other way to reset your flag. DougM 1 Find my contributions useful?

Yes, using cookie sounds great but unfortunately I am not good enough in coding. Newbie here. Do you suggest any? Thank you creedon Link to comment
