Run compliant A/B tests on cookie consent banners and protect your data quality with Convert + Cookiebot by Usercentrics

The Convert + Cookiebot integration is built to make experimentation on cookie consent banners both compliant and effective. Cookiebot controls when the Convert tracking code can fire, ensuring tests only run after visitors have given valid consent.

With this setup, you can safely A/B test your consent banner design, copy, and placement to improve opt-in rates while honoring GDPR and ePrivacy requirements. Consent actions become measurable goals in Convert, so you can see exactly how banner changes impact consent and downstream performance.

The integration also lets you automatically exclude non-consenting visitors from tracking and experiments, protecting privacy and keeping your datasets clean. For advanced setups, you can align with IAB TCF and optionally connect Google Consent Mode to fine-tune tag behavior based on consent status.

Key capabilities

  • Block Convert and other cookie-setting scripts until visitors provide consent via Cookiebot.
  • Trigger the Convert tracking code only after consent is granted, aligning tests with user choices.
  • Run A/B tests on Cookiebot consent banners, including layout, copy, CTAs, and placement.
  • Customize and iterate on banner experiences using Convert’s visual or code editors.
  • Track consent accept/reject actions as goals in Convert, including full vs. “necessary-only” consent.
  • Automatically exclude non-consenting visitors from tracking and experiments, with support for IAB TCF and optional Google Consent Mode.

Benefits

  • Keep your experimentation program GDPR/ePrivacy-compliant without giving up high-quality data.
  • Increase consent rates by systematically testing and optimizing your consent banner UX.
  • Improve attribution and reporting by treating consent actions as first-class conversion goals.
  • Build cleaner audiences and segments by only including users who have explicitly opted in.
  • Reduce manual work and risk with automatic exclusion of non-consenting visitors from all tests.
  • Understand how consent UX changes affect traffic loss, consent rates, and experiment performance across your site.

Convert and Cookiebot by Usercentrics

Cookiebot is a consent management platform that helps websites comply with GDPR, ePrivacy, and other data protection regulations by managing cookies and online tracking in a transparent, user-friendly way. It scans sites for cookies, categorizes them, and presents visitors with clear consent choices before any non-essential tracking is activated.

Together, Convert and Cookiebot enable privacy-first experimentation on consent experiences. Cookiebot governs when tracking is allowed, while Convert powers A/B testing, goal tracking, and reporting on consent banners and their impact. This combination lets teams optimize consent rates, protect user privacy, and maintain reliable experimentation data under strict regulatory requirements.

Use Cases

Boost GDPR Consent Rates with Banner A/B Testing

Problem: A large EU retailer sees 35–40% of visitors declining or ignoring cookie consent, crippling analytics and A/B test sample sizes while legal insists banners must remain fully compliant. Solution: They connect Cookiebot with Convert and run controlled A/B tests on banner copy, design, and CTAs. Convert only fires after Cookiebot consent, and consent actions are tracked as primary goals. Outcome: Consent rates climb by 20–30%, restoring reliable traffic volumes for experimentation. The team proves which UX patterns work best, while legal is reassured that all tracking respects explicit consent.

Protect Experiment Data by Excluding Non-Consenting Users

Problem: A SaaS company’s A/B tests are polluted by users who never consented to tracking, leading to under-reported conversions, skewed lift calculations, and mistrust in experimentation results. Solution: Using Cookiebot’s OnDecline and Convert’s _conv_eignore, they automatically exclude non-consenting visitors from all experiments and tracking. Only users who accept cookies enter test audiences and goals. Outcome: Experiment data becomes cleaner and more trustworthy. Conversion lifts are easier to detect, stakeholders regain confidence in test outcomes, and the team can scale their CRO roadmap without compliance risk.

Optimize Consent UX for Different Markets and Devices

Problem: A global publisher uses one generic Cookiebot banner for all EU markets and devices, but mobile bounce rates spike and some countries show especially low consent, hurting ad revenue and personalization. Solution: They use Convert to create localized and device-specific banner variants—changing language tone, layout, and placement—while Cookiebot enforces consent logic. Convert tracks consent as segmented goals by country and device. Outcome: Mobile and country-specific consent rates improve, recovering monetizable traffic. The team builds a playbook of best-performing consent experiences per region while staying aligned with GDPR and ePrivacy rules.

Align IAB TCF and Google Consent Mode with CRO

Problem: A performance marketing team must comply with IAB TCF and use Google Consent Mode, but they struggle to understand how consent choices impact attribution, experiment performance, and media optimization. Solution: They integrate Cookiebot, Convert, and Google Consent Mode so tags and Convert tracking fire only under the right consent signals. Consent states are tracked as goals and segments within Convert experiment reports. Outcome: The team gains clear visibility into how different consent levels affect traffic loss, conversion rates, and campaign ROAS. They adjust acquisition and on-site UX to maximize both compliance and performance.

Turn Cookie Banners into a Conversion Funnel Asset

Problem: Marketing treats the cookie banner as a legal necessity, not a lever. They lack insight into how consent UX affects downstream sign-ups, purchases, and audience-building for remarketing. Solution: With Cookiebot and Convert, they test banner messaging that explains value (personalization, better recommendations) and measure not only consent but also post-consent conversions as linked goals. Outcome: They identify consent experiences that increase both opt-in and key business KPIs. The banner becomes an intentional, optimized step in the funnel, preserving audience quality and improving attribution accuracy.

Safely Relaunch Experimentation After GDPR Crackdown

Problem: After a regulatory audit, a financial services brand pauses all A/B testing over fears of non-compliant tracking and potential fines, stalling their optimization roadmap and revenue experiments. Solution: They deploy Cookiebot to control all cookie-setting scripts and connect it with Convert so experiments only run after explicit consent. Non-consenting users are automatically ignored across tests and analytics. Outcome: The brand resumes experimentation with a privacy-first setup that satisfies compliance and security teams. They regain optimization velocity, improve site performance, and avoid legal exposure from improper tracking.
