policystack-jurisdiction

Explain what a declared jurisdictions set implies. Posture and policy-text tier are read straight from the single canonical table (the same row the policy renderer and the consent runtime read, so prose and banner always agree).

The canonical table

• br — opt-in, equivalent policy text
• ca — opt-in, equivalent policy text

• us — opt-out, equivalent policy text
• us-ak — opt-out, equivalent policy text, inherits us
• us-al — opt-out, equivalent policy text, inherits us
• us-ar — opt-out, equivalent policy text, inherits us
• us-az — opt-out, equivalent policy text, inherits us
• us-ca — opt-out, specific policy text, inherits us, GPC legally binding

How to read it

• consentModel — opt-in (EEA/UK/CH/BR/CA/ROW): no non-essential

data/cookies until affirmative consent; the banner defaults off. opt-out (US and US states): lawful by default after notice; the banner defaults on, gated by Do-Not-Sell / GPC.

• policyText — specific (eea, uk, us-ca): hand-authored,

jurisdiction-specific prose. equivalent: posture-correct text via the parent jurisdiction — a legitimate, shippable tier that emits the jurisdiction-generic-policy-text warning so the gap is explicit, not silent. Treat that warning as acknowledged, not failed.

• inherits — all 50 US state codes inherit text/posture from us. An

unknown us-* subdivision resolves to us (opt-out); row is the conservative opt-in catch-all. A code that is neither a table entry nor a us-* tail is rejected as jurisdiction-unknown.

• GPC legally binding — true only where the Global Privacy Control signal

currently carries legal force. It is always honoured as a signal regardless.

Procedure

For each declared id: state its consent model, its policy-text tier (and the parent it borrows from when equivalent), and whether GPC is binding. Call out every equivalent id as a jurisdiction-generic-policy-text warning the user must accept. The effective posture across a multi-jurisdiction set is the most protective (any opt-in member ⇒ treat as opt-in).
