For many Citrix ADC features, policies control how a feature evaluates data, which ultimately determines what the feature does with the data.

Alternatively, a policy can apply a profile, which defines a complex action.

Some Citrix ADC features use default syntax policies, which provide greater capabilities than do the older, classic, policies.
