// index.js

// Utility to generate a unique identifier (UUID)
function generateUUID() {
    return 'xxxxxxxxyxxxxyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxyxxxxxx'.replace(/[xy]/g, function(c) {
      var r = Math.random() * 16 | 0, v = c === 'x' ? r : (r & 0x3 | 0x8);
      return v.toString(16);
    });
  }
  
  // Function to get a unique browser ID
  function getBrowserID() {
    // Try to retrieve from localStorage
    let browserId = localStorage.getItem('browser-id');
  
    if (!browserId) {
      // If it doesn't exist, create one and store it in localStorage
      browserId = generateUUID();
      localStorage.setItem('browser-id', browserId);
    }
  
    return browserId;
  }
