How to add Age Gate to your website

Embed Age Gate on Your Website

01

Create a Age Gate widget for your website on Common Ninja

First, create a Age Gate widget on Common Ninja. On the widgets catalog, find the Age Gate and enter the Editor.

02

Save the Age Gate widget

When you're done creating the Age Gate widget, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

03

Copy the Age Gate Embed Code

When you're ready to add the Age Gate widget to your website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the widget embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your website.

04

Paste the code to your Platform website’s HTML field.

Next, go to your Platform website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Platform’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the Age Gate Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s Age Gate widget on your Platform website.

05

Alternative Method 1: Through the HTML option in the text’s editing area.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s Age Gate widget on your Platform widget. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

06

Alternative Method 2: Add it directly to your Platform website’s HTML code.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the Age Gate widget to your Platform website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Platform website's HTML code.

Why Use This Widget

Use Age Gate when your website content or products require visitors to meet a legal age requirement. It blocks underage users from accessing restricted areas and helps reduce compliance related risks for your business. This is especially important for industries such as alcohol, vaping, gambling, adult content, and regulated medical products. The verification popup clearly asks visitors to confirm their age before continuing, setting responsibility upfront. By showing that your site follows regulations, you also build trust with legitimate users. Age Gate provides a straightforward solution that avoids complex access systems while still meeting legal standards. Placing the verification at the entry point keeps the rest of your site uncluttered and ensures only the appropriate audience proceeds.
