customVars - visitor scope?

Hi,

are there any plans to implement a visitor scope for custom vars?

I’d like to use customVars for A/B testing. The time between setting the variable and reaching the goal, could easily exceed 30 minutes without any webseite interaction, so the information is lost. At the moment, I store the group information in an additional cookie and I use that to reset the customVar to the proper value within the shop.

No plans at this stage. But you can set the 30min to higher limit: See the visit_standard_length option in the config file
