Compliance on a Next.js project, end to end
The clauses are the visible part. What makes them worth having is that they keep matching the code after you stop paying attention.
It finds it without being told
AutomaticA Next.js project is identified from next.config.js, and the real router directory is read rather than assumed.
Clauses, not a template
The disclosures Next.js forces are assembled from a library built from published regulatory text, and filled in from the catalog row rather than from a guess about what the vendor does.
Every clause explained
Beside each one, in plain English: what it means, why your product needs it, and which detected component put it there — with the file and line it was proved from.
It notices when this changes
DriftLater scans are diffed against the snapshot your documents were generated from, so removing Next.js or adding something beside it becomes an update you approve.
Delivered where you work
As a pull request on a connected Git host, as an approval in the dashboard, or from your editor over MCP — the same six tools your agent can call without opening a browser.
Read in memory, not retained
The files a scan reads are processed in memory and dropped when the request ends; what is kept is the list of services it found. The MCP server goes further and scans on your own machine.
How Poliogo reads a Next.js project
A Next.js project is identified from `next.config.js`, and the router directory is read from the files that are really there rather than assumed from a convention. That is what lets the install write to the path your project actually uses instead of the one a template would have.
- ✓Poliogo writes app/privacy/page.tsx and its two siblings and mounts the banner in app/layout.tsx, reading the router directory that is really there — a project under src/app/ or inside a route group gets the path it actually uses.
- ✓A root layout inside a dynamic segment — app/[locale]/layout.tsx, the shape every next-intl project has — is refused rather than guessed at, because the page would answer at /en/privacy and only you know which locale to link.
- ✓@vercel/analytics, Google Analytics 4, PostHog and Sentry are what this ecosystem ships most often, and each one changes a different document: analytics moves the Cookie Policy, crash reporting moves the Privacy Policy.
What Next.js changes in your documents
The App Router runs your layout on the server, so a third-party script in it has already executed by the time any client component — a consent banner included — has mounted. Order in the file is order in the response. Poliogo writes `app/privacy/page.tsx` and its two siblings and mounts the banner in `app/layout.tsx`, so the documents are files in your repository rather than a page on somebody else's domain.
- ✓Privacy Policy — regenerated and shown as a diff before anything is published.
- ✓Cookie Policy — regenerated and shown as a diff before anything is published.
- ✓Terms of Service — regenerated and shown as a diff before anything is published.
Getting this onto a Next.js project
Nothing is written or published until you have seen it. The scan proposes, you approve, and only then does anything reach your repository or your live pages.
Connect the repository. `next.config.js` identifies the project as Next.js, and the scan reads your manifests and source in memory, keeping the list of services rather than the files.
A plain-English list of every service the scan proved, Next.js among them, each with the file and the line it was found on. Correct anything wrong before a word is generated.
Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy and Terms, with the clauses Next.js forces already in them, and a plain-language explanation beside each one saying which detected component put it there.
Later scans are diffed against the snapshot your documents were generated from, so a service added next month becomes an update you approve rather than a quiet inaccuracy nobody notices.
Questions people ask
Does Poliogo detect Next.js on its own?
Yes. `next.config.js` identifies the project, and the router directory is read from the files that are actually present rather than assumed — so a project under `src/app/` or inside a route group gets the path it really uses, not the one a template would have guessed.
Where does Poliogo put the policy pages in a Next.js project?
`app/privacy/page.tsx` and its two siblings, answering on `/privacy`, with the banner mounted in `app/layout.tsx`. They are files in your repository rather than a page hosted on our domain, so they are yours, indexable, and styled by your own layout.
Which trackers does a Next.js project usually ship?
@vercel/analytics, Google Analytics 4, PostHog, Sentry are the ones this ecosystem installs most often, and each changes a different document — analytics moves the Cookie Policy, crash reporting moves the Privacy Policy, payments move the Terms. A scan finds around fifty more and sorts each into strictly necessary, analytics or advertising without being told.
Does the banner slow a Next.js site down?
No. It is a small async script that loads in the background and paints in one frame — not a framework, a UI library or a tag manager. That matters more than it sounds: for most sites the consent banner is the only third-party script on the page with any business being there.
What happens when I add another service later?
A scan has to run first — manually on any plan including Free, or on your plan's schedule from Starter. When one finds a service your documents do not mention, the change arrives as a proposal with a plain-language diff: what changed, why, and which detected component triggered it. On a connected Git host it can also arrive as a pull request on a side branch, so changes reach your default branch only through a pull request you approve.
Is any of this legal advice?
No. Poliogo reads code and assembles clauses from a library built from published regulatory text; it does not weigh your circumstances, and no generated document settles whether a business is compliant — that turns on how the business actually handles data. What the product is for is making sure the documents describe what the software genuinely does, which is the part that goes stale on its own and the part a person cannot check by hand every week.
