What it is
Time on site, in plain words.
Time on site makes a campaign wait until a visitor has spent a set number of seconds on your site, however many pages they've seen.
The timer starts when the first page of the visit has loaded and keeps running while they browse.
It decides who can see the popup, not when it appears: the visitor qualifies first, then the trigger fires.
