PolicyStack provides open‑source, composable code libraries that let development teams manage privacy consent and policy as infrastructure, similar to auth or feature flags. The libraries are version‑controlled, testable, and integrate with frameworks like React, enabling teams to define, diff, and verify consent rules directly in their codebase and support AI agents that read the same configuration.

Problem
Modern applications struggle to manage privacy and consent policies consistently, often treating them as separate UI components rather than integrated infrastructure. This leads to fragmented implementations, lack of version control, and difficulty ensuring compliance across development workflows.
Solution
PolicyStack offers a set of lightweight, composable code libraries that treat consent and policy management as first‑class infrastructure. Developers install the packages and run a CLI initializer to generate a typed configuration file, which can be version‑controlled, unit‑tested, and reviewed in pull requests. The libraries provide ready‑made React components for cookie banners and policy pages, automatically wiring them into the app’s component tree. Because policies are expressed as code, they can be diffed, linted, and validated alongside the rest of the codebase, ensuring that rendered consent UI always matches the tested configuration. The approach also supports AI agents that can read the machine‑readable policy definitions, enabling automated compliance checks.
Target Audience
Primary customers are front‑end development teams and product engineers building web applications who need a code‑centric solution for privacy and consent compliance.
Features
- TypeScript‑based policy configuration file (`policystack.ts`) that is version‑controlled and testable
- CLI tool (`@policystack/cli`) to scaffold policy files and integrate with existing projects in seconds
- React packages (`@policystack/react/consent`, `@policystack/react/policy`) providing out‑of‑the‑box cookie banners and privacy policy pages
- Seamless integration with popular frameworks (e.g., Vite, Next.js) via simple package installs
- Ability to diff and review consent rules in pull requests, ensuring compliance changes are auditable
- Machine‑readable policy surface that can be consumed by AI agents for automated compliance verification
