    here is an example where the counter is permanently saved in localStorage

    trigger on button click restart

    var value = GetPlayer().GetVar("var1");
    localStorage.setItem("countTest12345", value);

    trigger on start timeline ot the first slide

    var value = localStorage.getItem("countTest12345");
    if( value !== null ){
      GetPlayer().SetVar("var1", parseInt(value) ); 
    }

    this remains until you delete the Local Storage manually

    CAUTION: the solution does not protect against manipulation by the learner - you can simply overwrite the value in the browser
