documentUnloading
The documentUnloading property allows you to use JavaScript’s sendBeacon method to send data to Adobe. If a typical request takes too long, the browser can cancel the request. You can tell the Web SDK to use sendBeacon so that the request runs in the background after you navigate away from the page. Enable this property to help prevent data requests from getting canceled by the browser when unloading.
Several browsers impose a limit of 64 KB to the amount of data that can be sent with sendBeacon at one time. If the browser rejects the event because the payload is too large, the Web SDK falls back to using its normal transport method.

documentUnloading property is incompatible with the renderDecisions property. You should not set both properties to true simultaneously.alloy("sendEvent", {
