A JavaScript (JS) variable stores data on a webpage, such as user interactions or values. Marketers often use them to capture form inputs, clicks, or events for analytics and tracking.
For example, a JS variable might store the number of items added to a cart. This data can then be sent to analytics tools or used for personalization.
Understanding JS variables helps marketers work with developers to collect accurate data and run better tracking campaigns.
