Pilot Age Verification Lite – Age Gate for WordPress and WooCommerce

Simple Age Verification for WordPress and WooCommerce

Pilot Age Verification Lite helps you place an age confirmation gate in front of your entire website in just a few minutes. It is designed for websites and online stores related to adult content, alcoholic beverages, vaping, sexual wellness, adult novelty products, wine, beer, and spirits.

Visitors must confirm that they meet your configured minimum age before accessing the website. After approval, the plugin stores only a functional cookie in the visitor’s browser, preventing the gate from appearing again during the period you select.

Why Download Pilot Age Verification Lite?

A generic or poorly optimized age popup can reduce trust, create problems on mobile devices, and cause potential customers to leave your store. Pilot Age Verification Lite provides a professional experience that can match your brand, without complicated setup, external accounts, or recurring service subscriptions.

• Flexible age requirement: choose a custom minimum age from 13 to 99.
• Responsive design: works across desktop computers, tablets, and mobile phones.
• Visual customization: add your logo and customize the overlay, card, text, and accent colors.

• Privacy friendly: no date of birth, document, or identity information is requested or stored.
• Accessible interaction: includes keyboard navigation, focus control, and a high-contrast interface.
• WooCommerce compatible: protects the public-facing areas of your online store.
