What ConsentStack is
ConsentStack is a consent management platform for websites and API-based implementations. It displays consent banners, blocks scripts until a choice is made, records decisions, and changes consent behavior according to visitor location. Its compliance engine covers more than 195 regulations and detects jurisdiction to select a consent model, including GDPR opt-in, CCPA opt-out, and notice-only experiences where allowed. A no-code visual builder controls banner, preferences-panel, and re-entry-button colors, typography, and layout. Real-time analytics report consent rates, decisions, trends, regions, devices, and categories. Audit events record jurisdiction, regulation, consent model, device, browser, language, page URL, and interaction timing. Exports are available as 29-column CSV or newline-delimited JSON. Headless mode supplies consent processing, blocking, storage, logging, adapters, and an offline queue without rendering the interface. Basic is free forever; Pro costs $29 a month and Business costs $79 a month.
