I have implemented a dialogue which shows whenever a user access the website. However, I want the dialogue to reappear after 24 hours if someone accesses the site clicking on the cookie. Unfortunately, I spent a lot of time researching and I haven’t found any solution which applies to my scenario. Below is the code I’m trying to modify,
var is_dialogue = window.localStorage.getItem("dialogue");
if (is_dialogue != 'false') {
var today = new Date();
var hours = today.getHours();
dialogue = new Dialogue();
dialogue.setHtmlMessage(string('dialogue-heading'));
dialogue.addHtmlDetail(string('dialogue-detail'));
if (((today.getHours() + 24) >= 24) || ((today.getHours() + 24) <= 48))
localStorage.setItem("dialogue", "true");
}

localStorage has no expiration time, but you can compare timestamps:
function moreThanOneDayAgo(date) {
const DAY = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
const dayAgo = Date.now() - DAY;
return date < dayAgo;
}
var is_dialogue = localStorage.getItem("dialogue");
if (is_dialogue === null || moreThanOneDayAgo(is_dialogue)) {
dialogue = new Dialogue();
dialogue.setHtmlMessage(string('dialogue-heading'));
dialogue.addHtmlDetail(string('dialogue-detail'));
localStorage.setItem("dialogue", Date.now());
}
