Create a popup cookie when you click a link but before navigating to that link

createCookieBeforeRedirect.js

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
    
    // Listen for the link click, then do stuff.
    // Link will be something like <a class="do-something" href="https://myawesomewebsite.xyz/my-redirect-page/">Click me!</a>
    $('.do-something').click(function (e) {
        e.preventDefault(); // Don't redirect yet.
        
        console.log('Creating the cookie.');
        $('#popmake-160').trigger('pumSetCookie'); // Set the cookie first. Change to your cookie name.
        
        console.log('Grabbing the link URL for the redirect.');
        const redirectURL = $(this).attr('href'); // Get the redirect URL. Assumes this is a valid URL.
        
        console.log('Redirecting to ' + redirectURL + '. Wait for it ;-) ... ');
        setTimeout(function() {
            window.location.href = redirectURL; // Now, you can redirect.
        }, 1500); // 1.5 s delay. Change this to what you want.
    });
    
}); // jQuery
