If set to `false`, the `pageViewId` will be regenerated on the second and each following page view event (first page view doesn't change the page view ID since tracker initialization). If set to `true` or `'full'`, the `pageViewId` will be kept the same for all page views with that exact URL (even for events tracked before the page view event). If set to `'pathname'`, the `pageViewId` will be kept the same for all page views with the same pathname (search params or fragment may change). If set to `'pathnameAndSearch'`, the `pageViewId` will be kept the same for all page views with the same pathname and search params (fragment may change). If `preservePageViewId` is enabled, the `preservePageViewIdForUrl` setting is ignored. Defaults to `false`. Signature: ```typescript preservePageViewIdForUrl: (preserve: PreservePageViewIdForUrl) => void; ```
