Where Should I Use an Age Verification Popup?
On every page that sells or promotes an age-restricted product, such as alcohol, tobacco or cannabis, and as soon as the page loads. A gate that appears after someone has browsed the product hasn't done its job.
The usual places:
- Product and collection pages for restricted items
- Landing pages for campaigns aimed at adults
- Blog posts and guides about those products
If most of your store is restricted, gate the whole site instead.
In Gleam, start from the Age Verification Popup template, then choose the pages on the Targeting tab. A Current URL rule covers whole sections, such as /shop/wine/. The Selector rule catches pages by their content, for example when the h1 contains "18+".
A popup asks visitors to confirm their age. It doesn't prove it. Some products and places legally need stronger checks, so look up the rules where you sell. This isn't legal advice.
