country verification

Verify cookie consent in Canada

Keep the province in the test record. Record the province the CMP selected and whether a more specific rule took precedence over Canada. Use a separate Quebec test; one Canadian visit cannot verify every provincial configuration.

Routing and expected behavior

CookieTrail offers a Canada country route (ca). Confirm the CMP's selected rule in the evidence before interpreting the result.

Have the policy owner establish business scope, purposes, and any applicable exceptions using the Canadian privacy commissioner: online tracking. Then test the configuration actually served in the browser. A country label, translated banner, or configured dashboard preview does not establish the selected visitor rule.

A saved rejection can still leave a tag running

Example policy: optional analytics must stay off after refusal. Change the evidence for a Osano visitor in Canada and see what you can conclude. These values are teaching fixtures.

Investigate the mismatch

The saved choice is readable, but observed activity conflicts with the example policy. Trace the affected integration and retest after deployment.

Test scope

6 worksheet rows. First load, acceptance, and refusal each use fresh sessions. The worksheet records actual region, selected rule, expected policy, saved state, and observed activity.

Keep the province in the test record. Record the province the CMP selected and whether a more specific rule took precedence over Canada. Use a separate Quebec test; one Canadian visit cannot verify every provincial configuration.

Run these paths: first load, accept optional categories, reject / opt out. Use fresh isolated sessions for first load, accept, and reject; withdrawal uses its own earlier acceptance. Record the URL, deployed version, actual visitor region, selected CMP rule, expected policy, saved state, cookies, requests, and capture window. Use the installed CMP's documented readback; missing data is inconclusive. Do not equate a TCF applicability flag or a banner language with geography.

Compare saved choices with observed behavior against the team's stated policy. A request alone does not establish a violation; Google advanced Consent Mode may send cookieless requests. Do not assume browser evidence covers server-side tracking. Investigate mismatches in my repository and explain each finding with evidence. After I deploy a fix, repeat the same URL, regional rule, and paths, then compare both evidence sets.

CookieTrail can capture its supported country routes through its workspace/API/MCP. State/province routing, browser preference signals, and withdrawal require separate verified manual or external browser tests; do not claim those are built-in automated paths. This is a technical test, not legal certification.

Country-route capture is available for CookieTrail’s supported locations. Precise state/province routing, withdrawal, and browser preference signals need separate manual or external tests.
