Read the current consent model from the store:

```ts
import { getOrCreateConsentRuntime } from 'c15t';

const { consentStore } = getOrCreateConsentRuntime({
  mode: 'hosted',
  backendURL: 'https://your-instance.c15t.dev',
});

const { model, policy } = consentStore.getState();
console.log('Current consent model:', model ?? 'detecting...');
if (policy) {
  console.log('From policy:', policy.id);
}

// React to model changes
consentStore.subscribe((state, prevState) => {
  if (state.model !== prevState.model) {
    console.log('Model resolved:', state.model);
  }
});
```

Override the detected jurisdiction for testing:

```ts
const state = consentStore.getState();

// Test as EU visitor
await state.setOverrides({ country: 'DE' });

// Test as California visitor
await state.setOverrides({ country: 'US', region: 'CA' });
```
