Is there a cross-browser compatible way of forcing page refresh when clicking the navigator back button?

i am trying to access to actualised cookies :

i have a js setcookie function that record changes in a type selector

$( #type-select ).change(function() {             

    var type = $(#type-select).val();

    SetCookie(liste-voyage-type,type);

    });

i'd like to retrieve that value when returning on this page, clicking the browser back button, using php

 if (isset($_COOKIE[liste-voyage-type]))

        $type=$_COOKIE[liste-voyage-type];

I had a similar requirement in my project. You can do something like this:

For example, lets say there are two pages: page1 and page2

In Page1 do something like this:

<script>

     if (sessionStorage.getItem(Page2Visited)) {

          sessionStorage.removeItem(Page2Visited);

          window.location.reload(true); // force refresh page1

     }

</script>

And in page2:

<script>

     sessionStorage.setItem(Page2Visited, True);

</script>

Now, it will force a page refresh on page1, whenever you click back button from page2.
