<import src="../../../shared/concepts/consent-models.mdx#overview" />

Read the current consent model from the hook:

```tsx
import { useConsentManager } from '@c15t/react';

function ConsentStatus() {
  const { model, policy } = useConsentManager();

  return (
    <p>
      Current consent model: {model ?? 'detecting...'}
      {policy && ` (from policy: ${policy.id})`}
    </p>
  );
}
```

<import src="../../../shared/concepts/consent-models.mdx#jurisdiction-mapping" />

Override the detected jurisdiction for testing:

```tsx
import { useConsentManager } from '@c15t/react';

function JurisdictionTester() {
  const { setOverrides } = useConsentManager();

  return (
    <div>
      <button onClick={() => setOverrides({ country: 'DE' })}>
        Test as EU visitor
      </button>
      <button onClick={() => setOverrides({ country: 'US', region: 'CA' })}>
        Test as California visitor
      </button>
    </div>
  );
}
```
