e = e.replace(/[\\[]/, "\\\\[").replace(/[\\]]/, "\\\\]");
var t = new RegExp("[\\\\?&]" + e + "=([^&#]*)"),
n = t.exec(location.search);
return n == null ? "" : decodeURIComponent(n[1].replace(/\\+/g, " "));
}
document.addEventListener("refersion-loaded", function() {
const cart = rfsn_getQS('rfsn_ci');
let id = '', aid = '', cs = '', url = window.location.href;
try {
id = localStorage.getItem("rfsn_v4_id");
aid = localStorage.getItem("rfsn_v4_aid");
