On the visitor's first session the popup asks \"Are you {age}?\" \u2014 a single Yes\/No choice that prevents underage users from accessing age-restricted content (alcohol, tobacco, adult products, etc.). The minimum age, the deny-redirect URL, all on-screen texts, your logo, and the popup colours are all configurable from the WordPress admin panel \u2014 no coding required.<\/p>\n\n<p>Upgrade to Pro to go further: instead of a simple Yes\/No the visitor enters their full date of birth, and the plugin computes their age against the configured threshold before granting access. Pro also remembers consent persistently via a cookie (configurable duration, default 30 days) so returning visitors are not interrupted, bypasses the gate for search-engine crawlers (Googlebot, Bingbot, etc.) so your pages stay indexable, and lets you scope the gate to specific WooCommerce categories or individual products rather than the whole site.<\/p>\n\n<p>Defaults to English, ships with a Polish translation, and is fully compatible with WooCommerce.
