Revenue-at-Risk (RaR) shows how much revenue you may be losing due to visitors declining cookies — and how layout optimization helps recover valuable marketing attribution.
What is Revenue-at-Risk (RaR)?
When visitors decline cookies or bounce before interacting with your banner, analytics and ad conversion pixels cannot fire. This creates attribution blind spots, reducing the effectiveness of ad spend and retargeting campaigns. RaR quantifies this impact:
- Quantifies revenue impact: Calculates estimated lost revenue based on your consent opt-in rate.
- Pinpoints improvement potential: Shows how modest increases in consent (+5% to +10%) directly boost recoverable revenue.
- Enables data-driven optimization: Move away from subjective design opinions to measurable conversion gains.

What is Layout Testing?
Layout Testing allows you to run structured experiments comparing different cookie banner designs to improve your consent rate. (Available on Premium plans).
Select candidate layout
Choose a variant design — such as testing a Floating Bottom Card against a Center Modal, or adjusting button accent colors.
Run period-based evaluation
The platform measures the baseline variant, switches to the candidate variant, and collects sample sizes over equal traffic periods.
Deploy the winner
Review opt-in percentage gains, sample distributions, and recovered revenue before permanently setting the top-performing layout.
Tips for high-converting banner designs
- High contrast: Ensure CTA buttons stand out clearly against your website background.
- Clear, respectful language: Transparent explanations generate higher voluntary acceptance than ambiguous copy.
- Run tests over full weekly cycles: Weekday and weekend visitor intent can differ significantly.
