Does Wingify VWO need cookie consent?
Yes, consent is typically needed. Wingify's VWO platform runs A/B tests and conversion optimization experiments that modify page content and track user interactions. It uses functional and analytics cookies to assign test variants and measure conversion outcomes, which requires consent under GDPR and similar privacy regulations.
What data does the VWO script collect on websites?
VWO fetches experiment configurations from Wingify's servers and modifies page elements to render assigned test variants. It sets persistent cookies to ensure visitors see the same variant across sessions. The script tracks conversion events including clicks, form submissions, and purchases, sending this data to VWO servers for analysis.
How does ConsentStack handle Wingify VWO scripts?
ConsentStack detects VWO scripts loading from Wingify's delivery infrastructure and categorizes them under functional and analytics consent types. When consent is withheld, ConsentStack blocks the A/B testing and tracking scripts from loading. Once consent is granted, VWO can deliver test variants and measure conversions normally.
