Answer 2

    $(document).ready(function() {
               var referrer =  document.referrer;

               if(referrer.equals("Setting.jsp")){                     
                   function goBack() {  
                        window.history.go();                            
                    }
               }  
                   if(referrer.equals("http://localhost:8080/Ads/Terms.jsp")){                     
                        window.history.forward();
                        function noBack() {
                        window.history.forward(); 
                    }
                   }
    }); 

using this you can avoid load previous page load

Answer 3

document.referrer is not working always.

You can use:

window.location.origin
