Consent Management at Airbnb
summary
Airbnb builds a configuration-driven Consent Management Platform that models terms (strictly necessary, functional, targeting, performance), stores immutable consent records as an audit log, and exposes a minimal API surface — showConsent API to decide if and how to prompt, and submitConsent API to validate and persist proposals. The backend resolves geo-specific configs, supports GPC and server- or client-side flows, removes coordinated app releases, and speeds delivery while keeping client logic minimal.
