Hi!
I recently created a trigger for a tag that is supposed to fire on a group of specific pages after 5 seconds. But as I realized this trigger only works once per session - which seems to be a default setting for all timer triggers without any chance to change this configuration in the Tag Manager ui (or I did not find it). The debugger even tells me that the trigger is defined as
Time on website
once_per_session
“5”
Page Url
contains
“/blog/”
as a result, the tag does not fire on following pages of the same group… and there will be a cookie for every timer trigger named std_fired_.
Both is not what I want - the trigger should fire more than once in a session (once per page would be the expected behaviour) and I surely do not want to create any cookies just by defining a trigger (that might fire for other reasons than tracking for example) that could emerge even in a situation where no consent was given. OK, it is a session cookie and tracking people would be useless, but still I see a risk here.
Is there some setting that I just did not find or do I have to I move away from timer as triggers: It would be neccesary to use 1) a regular pageview trigger to fire 2) a HTML tag to push an event to the dataLayer after a timeout and create 3) another trigger for that dataLayer event that then finally can 4) trigger my tag?
best
