How to prevent some scripts on page to not refresh with page reload

Question

I have a website in which I've added a code with which it reloads every 1-2 mins.

All I want to do this is, place a timer code there, and put a go-to "X" URL script after that time is completed.

But timer and that script got refresh after page reloads?

How to prevent and at the same time implement timer and go to a URL?.

Any Ideas?

set a cookie with whether or not the timer has been completed. on page reload, check that cookie. If it exists, no need to run the countdown again — Jhecht, Dec 28 '19 at 11:56

You can't refresh a page and keep it's script not refreshed, but... you can use window.localStorage or document.cookie!

I would check if the cookie exists.
If not: create a cookie, make it's value the current
Date.now().
If there is a cookie, compare it's Date to the current to get
the time passed. Then, you can redirect as wanted and delete the
cookie.

Exactly - when you page refresh - variables get reset. – JGFMK Dec 28 '19 at 12:05
