A/B ou N testing

This guide details how to set up comparative tests within Platform X to identify the message, design, or configuration variants that generate the best performance.

1. Business Value: Decide based on data, not intuition

A/B testing allows you to remove any doubts about the effectiveness of a change by comparing two (or more) versions with similar audience samples.

  • Maximising conversions: Validate which headline or button generates the most clicks or purchases.

  • Consent optimisation: Identify the banner design that maximises opt-ins while remaining compliant.

  • Risk reduction: Test a new feature on a small percentage of your traffic before rolling it out across the board.

2. Implementation methodology

Step 1 : PREPARE THE DESIGN OF THE BANNERS TO BE TESTED

  • This first step consists of defining the format and design of the banners to be tested in your A/B test campaign.

  • Go to the Privacy Banners module to create your banners.

    • Either, A/B Test: 50%/50% :

  • That is, N Test: A 80% / B 10% / C 10% :


Step 3 : ADD PRIVACY DISPLAY CONSTRAINTS ON COOKIES
