What: The Visual Website Optimizer connection allows you to share BlueConic segmentation information with Visual Website Optimizer.
Why: By using BlueConic's unique behavioral data collection engine and segmentation capabilities, you can enable highly relevant programs in Visual Website Optimizer.
Configuring the VWO Connection requires settings both on the BlueConic side and the VWO side, as explained below.
Configuring the BlueConic connection
Configuration takes the following options:
Cookie name
Enter the name of the of the cookie in which BlueConic will keep track of which segments the visitor belongs to. This allows you to have connections with different cookie names for different VWO experiments.
Segments
Select the BlueConic segments that you want to share with Visual Website Optimizer. BlueConic will keep track of which segments in this list the visitor belongs to and update the value of a cookie named "bcVWOCookie" accordingly.
VWO experiments
Enter the campaign id (without "#") that can be inspected in Visual Website Optimizer in "Campaigns > Settings > Summary", at the bottom of the page:
Configuring Visual Website Optimizer
To configure the VWO side of the connection, open VWO and navigate to "Campaigns > Settings > Targets".
Here you can configure the settings for the Variations:
Choose "Custom"
Select "COOKIE VALUE" and enter the name of the cookie that BlueConic sets: bcVWOCookie
Select the filter "CONTAINS" and enter the name of the segment that you want to filter on. The cookie can contain multiple segment names, hence the use of "CONTAINS".
If you want to filter on multiple segments, use "AND" or "OR".
Hover over a mapping and click the delete icon on the right to delete it.
Privacy management
Connections can be added to Objectives, allowing for privacy management of the information that is being picked up. A connection will only process the profiles of visitors who have consented to at least one of the objectives that the connection is linked to.
