EHERO Age Gate – Age Verification for WordPress and WooCommerce

WordPress and WooCommerce Age Verification with Legal Compliance

Do you sell alcohol, vapes, CBD, adult content, or gambling, and know that the law requires you to verify the age of visitors to your website? Free plugins only provide an “I am of legal age” button that doesn’t verify anything, looks bad with your brand, and often blocks Google, hurting your SEO. Poor WordPress age verification leaves you legally exposed and penalized in SEO.

EHERO Age Gate solves both issues at once. It’s a professional WordPress age verification and WooCommerce solution that displays an elegant popup, fully adapted to your brand, with real verification by birth date and cookie memory so the visitor doesn’t have to confirm it on every page. Most importantly, it automatically detects Googlebot and over 15 bots and crawlers so your content continues to be indexed without blocks.

It installs in two minutes, without touching code and compatible with any theme. You choose the minimum age, customize texts, colors, fonts, and logo from a panel with live preview, and decide which pages (legal notice, privacy policy) remain unblocked. Thus, your WordPress age verification is ready to comply with Spanish and European regulations on restricted content, with real support in Spanish* included.

Professional verification popup

Much more than an “I am of legal age” button: a complete and accessible access control.

• Simple verification with button or advanced with real birth date against the configured minimum age
• Placeholder %age% that automatically inserts the minimum age in title, message, and buttons
• Exit button with configurable redirection to send minors to the URL of your choice
• Real accessibility with role=”dialog”, aria-modal, and aria-labelledby, and responsive design on mobile, tablet, and desktop

100% customizable design with live preview

Adapt the popup to your brand in detail, seeing changes in real-time from the panel.

• Fully configurable colors: overlay, background, title, text, and entry and exit buttons
• Typography, layout, and effects: font family and size, maximum width, border radius, padding, and background blur
• Custom logo from the media library and free CSS field for advanced adjustments
• 4 entry animations (fade, scale, slide) and live preview in the admin

Intelligent bot exclusion (SEO safe)

Your age verification never penalizes your Google ranking.

• Automatic detection of over 15 bots and crawlers: Googlebot, Bingbot, Yahoo Slurp, DuckDuckBot, Baiduspider, Yandex, Semrush, Ahrefs, Facebot, and more
• Search engines access content without blocking, keeping your SEO intact
• Visits without User-Agent are treated as bots for security
• Activatable or deactivatable from settings according to your strategy

Smart cookies and privacy

The visitor verifies once and navigates without interruptions, without sacrificing privacy.

• Once age is verified, the popup does not reappear during the configured period
• Configurable cookie duration from 1 to 365 days
• Cookie with SameSite=Lax and path=/ attributes for maximum compatibility
• No tracking or personal data: just a verification flag, aligned with GDPR

Exclusions and access control

You decide exactly where and to whom the verification applies.

• Exclude specific pages like legal notice, privacy policy, or terms of sale
• Exclude logged-in users so administrators and registered customers navigate without interruptions
• Option to close the popup by clicking on the overlay
• Works on all pages of your site without visit, page, or language limits

Performance, lightness, and professional panel

Lightweight technology and a comfortable, modern admin panel.

• Vanilla JavaScript without jQuery or external libraries on the frontend, no AJAX requests
• A single CSS and a single JS that load only where needed; compatible with cache and CDN
• Panel with Dashboard, Settings, and Design organized by tabs, status cards, toggles, and color pickers
• Real technical support in Spanish and English and updates included with the license
