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) ); 
}

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