I have a web app that normally requires payment to use but the first session is a free trial.

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
   if (trial === "true") {
      window.location.replace("freeTrial.html?SD=" + userId);
   }
});

If it's the first free trial session, the user is redirected to another page. The problem is that on the second visit (when trial==="false"), the browser (tested in Chrome) has cached the page from the first visit and the user is wrongly redirected.

How can I avoid this?
