Event Reference (v1) / Page Events
Page Linger / page_linger
Measures when a user stays on a single page past a certain amount of defined time.
If your site/application is a Single Page Application (SPA) - DO NOT implement this event with a Google Tag Manager timer trigger. Timer triggers can not be reset unless a full page reload occurs. This means that if a user navigates to a new page within your SPA, the timer will continue to count down and trigger the event on the new page. This can lead to inaccurate data collection and reporting.
