Hi
I have a DNN 9.13.4 website. I need to add age verification before seeing any page on the website. The website's inner pages should be open only for 18+ years old users. We have two buttons for age verification. 18+ years or below 18 years. I have this on my home page and the user should click on the 18+ years button to see other pages.
How can I set this? I made this as the flash page. But still, users can visit inner pages for direct page links.
Please, advise me on how can we do this on the DNN website.
Thank you!
There is no "out of the box" option for that AFAIK. The technical solution would be to add an "I'm 18 plus" button and set a Cookie when clicked. Then the other pages should redirect to the splash page unless the cookie is set. IMO the most practical option is so add this to your Theme. You can do this using custom code or from your Theme by using our StyleHelper. (look for Filter on Cookie values). But you also need a button that sets the cookie. Maybe you could re-use the standard cookie consent for this, I didn't try that TBH.
This is not a real verification. Always I find a site where I have to enter my year of birth, I enter something like 1839 or 1725 - and then it's done. Or do you presuppose that everyone is doing correctly? And when a 12 years old clicks "I am 18+" you can't sue him because he's a liar. You could let him register (confirmed registration mode) and ask him to send a copy of his passport, driving license or anything else and then confirm the registration. And of course - he can copy his Dad's document. In terms of youth protection, this would not be accepted in case of dispute (at least not in Europe). So the only way would be any kind of official electronic ID like "ID Austria" or the Italian "Carta di Identità Elettronica (CIE)" etc. And then you need an identity provider that supports all these possibilities. But if you want to do it like this, you could do the following: when someone comes to your site, he will be redirected to a dialog with the two buttons. If he clicks 18+, set a cookie, and then let him enter the site (using the cookie, you can avoid that he has to confirm this every time). If he clicks the other button, send him to www.freekidsgames.com :-) Happy DNNing! Michael
