counting page views per visitor

I have a use-case connected with counting page-views. That data element should live as long as a particular visitor. I was trying to set this up as Data Element in UI but then I thought that it might be user setting this up as a rule. 

 

Why that custom code in rule does not work? It always returns 0 .....

 

if(!_satellite.setVar('PageViewCount', 0)) {
_satellite.setVar('PageViewCount', 0);
} else {
let vaar = _satellite.getVar('PageViewCount')
vaar= vaar+ 1
_satellite.setVar('PageViewCount', 0);
console.log(vaar)
}

    Hi @michael_soprano 

    Made minor changes in your code to make it work. Can set it on every page load. 

    if((_satellite.getVar('pageViewCount') == undefined)) { _satellite.setVar('pageViewCount', 1); } else { var initialCount = _satellite.getVar('pageViewCount') var latestCount = initialCount + 1 _satellite.setVar('pageViewCount', latestCount); console.log(latestCount) }

     another option is to set long term user cookie using TAG and overwrite that with increment value on each page load.

    Thanks,

    HI Michael, it would be great if you can share your use case details. How you want to use data? I have few thoughts to solve this but will wait for your response.
