AB Testing - hitting "Site Stickiness" conversion goal too early

Vote:
 

Hi,

I have a problem with one of the conversion goals of AB testing suite - "Site Stickiness" seems to be too eager to increase the conversions count. I understand that the expected behavior is to score a conversion when a visitor lands on the tested page, and after that visits another within the site (and given time period).

I my case the conversion is counted as soon as the user lands on the tested page.

Steps to reproduce:
a) Direct scenario
- setup AB test: Conversion goal(s): Site Stickiness, Participation percentage: 100%, tested page: https://x/y/
- open browser (Chrome) in incognito mode
- go directly to https://x/y/ (tested page)
- views + 1, conversions + 1
- navigate to another page on (https://x/z/)
- views and conversions don't change

a) Indirect scenario
- setup AB test: Conversion goal(s): Site Stickiness, Participation percentage: 100%, tested page: https://x/y/
- open browser (Chrome) in incognito mode
- go to a page (https://x/z/) other then the tested page
- navigate to https://x/y/ (tested page)
- views + 1, conversions + 1
- navigate to any other page (https://x/a/)
- views and conversions don't change

The two cookies I expect to be created (SSK_(...) and EPI-MAR(...)) are present.
(Some of) the packages we use are:
EPiServer.CMS: 11.12.0
EPiServer.Marketing.Testing: 2.5.9
EPiServer.Marketing.KPI: 2.5.2

"Landing Page" conversion goal works fine in our setup.

Has anyone else noticed a similar problem? Is it a bug or something relating to our configuration?

Best regards,
Greg
