Hi there! I'm facing a challenge with an age verification pop up on my webpage. Currently, the pop up appears on every page a user lands on, but I only want it to show on their first visit. I've tried using cookies to achieve this but haven't been successful in adapting my code. Ideally, I'm looking for a solution that doesn't rely on plugins. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
