A newsletter popup converts well on its first appearance but returns on every page for readers who already closed it. The campaign dashboard shows many impressions while support hears from frustrated returning visitors.<\/p>\n

Define separate outcomes for a view, a deliberate dismissal, and a completed conversion. Then choose how long each state suppresses the campaign and test that logic across tabs, sessions, consent choices, private browsing, and storage expiry.<\/p>\n

    What it means<\/h2>\n

    A popup frequency cap limits how often a campaign appears to a recognized browser during a session, a set period, or the campaign lifetime. Recognition usually depends on a cookie or browser storage, so the state can disappear after storage is cleared, consent changes, private browsing begins, or the visitor moves to another device. A cap controls exposure under known conditions; it is not a universal identity system.<\/p>\n
