How to control the lighbox(pop-up) should show once in a session?

[jayasekar]

I want to show 2 different offers(experiences) to 2 different audiences.  I have created the activity as Experience Targeting. My website is a SPA, but I have used different pages(the URL is not refresh when I move to next page). 

The lightbox open when the user go to the PDP pages. The pop-up open again and again in single session. 

Example: product1, product2, product3,.... User come to product1 page the popup showing but the user close the popup again go to product3 the popup showing again. 

But I want to control this, Once the user close the popup, it should not open in the same session. How can we achieve this?

Hi @jayasekar ,
You can handle this by setting a flag once the popup is closed and then checking that flag before showing it again. For example, use a sessionStorage variable (or a cookie) when the user closes the popup:

// When popup is closed
sessionStorage.setItem("popupClosed", "true");

// Before showing popup
if (!sessionStorage.getItem("popupClosed")) {
// show popup
}

OR
you can Create a profile script like popupClosed = true when user closes.Use an audience condition in your activity to only show the popup if popupClosed != true.

the first option with sessionStorage is usually enough — it ensures the popup won’t reappear again in the same session even if the user navigates to multiple product detail pages.

@jayasekar : Do you think using sessionStorage for storing the flag if pop-up is already shown can work for you? You can store this value on rendering of pop-up or click of close/accept/ok button on pop-up. Before rendering this pop-up, you can check if this flag/value is present in sessionStorage.

Since sessionStorage keeps values until you close your browser, it should not show it until you are in current session.

I don't understand your complete use-case but please see if this could work for you.

thanks.
