title: Checking Consent
description: Read consent state from the store — check individual categories, logical conditions, and the full consent object.
---
## `has(condition)`

Check if a consent condition is met. Accepts a simple category name or a logical expression.

### Simple Category Check

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

if (state.has('measurement')) {
  // Measurement consent is granted
  loadAnalytics();
}
```

### Logical AND

Require multiple categories to all be granted:

```ts
if (state.has({ and: ['measurement', 'marketing'] })) {
  // Both measurement AND marketing are granted
  loadCrossTrackingPixel();
}
```

### Logical OR

Require at least one category to be granted:

```ts
if (state.has({ or: ['measurement', 'marketing'] })) {
  // At least one of measurement OR marketing is granted
  loadBasicTracking();
}
```

### Logical NOT

Check that a category is NOT granted:

```ts
if (state.has({ not: 'marketing' })) {
  // Marketing is NOT granted — show non-personalized content
  showGenericAds();
}
```

### Nested Conditions

Combine conditions for complex logic:

```ts
if (state.has({ and: ['measurement', { not: 'marketing' }] })) {
  // Has measurement but NOT marketing
  loadPrivacyFriendlyAnalytics();
}
```

## `hasConsented()`

Check if the user has made any consent decision at all (accepted or declined). Returns `false` if the user hasn't interacted with the consent UI yet.

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

if (state.hasConsented()) {
  // User has made a consent decision
  console.log('Consents:', state.consents);
} else {
  // No consent decision yet — show banner
  console.log('Waiting for user consent...');
}
```

## `getDisplayedConsents()`

Get the list of consent categories that should be displayed in the UI. This returns the full `ConsentType` objects including `name`, `title`, and `description`.

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

displayed.forEach((type) => {
  console.log(`${type.name}: ${state.consents[type.name]}`);
});
```

## `consents`

The raw consent state object — a `Record<string, boolean>` mapping category names to their consent status.

```ts
const { consents } = consentStore.getState();

console.log(consents);
// { necessary: true, measurement: false, marketing: false }
```

## Subscribing to Consent Changes

React to consent changes in real time:

```ts
consentStore.subscribe((state, prevState) => {
  // React when consents change
  if (state.consents !== prevState.consents) {
    if (state.consents.measurement) {
      loadAnalytics();
    }
  }

  // React when a specific check changes
  if (state.has('measurement') !== prevState.has('measurement')) {
    console.log('Measurement consent:', state.has('measurement'));
  }
});
```
