The Common Ninja Age Gate is a free, no-code popup that asks visitors to confirm their age before they reach restricted content. Add it with one line of embed code.
Choose how strict the check is: a simple confirmation button, a birth year, or a full date of birth. Visitors who do not meet the age can be sent to a URL you choose rather than hitting a dead end.
Display rules control when it appears, and layouts, skins, icons, colours, fonts, and custom CSS keep it looking like part of your site.
Why add an age gate to your website?
Alcohol, tobacco, and vaping
These categories are expected to ask, and buyers expect to be asked. A gate at the entrance is the normal shape of the interaction and costs almost nothing in friction when the check is a single button.
Mature content and forums
Sites carrying adult themes, graphic imagery, or unmoderated discussion use a gate to set expectations before someone is already looking at the thing they did not want to see.
A record that you asked
A gate does not verify identity, and nothing that lives in a browser can. What it does is make the question explicit and put the answer on the visitor, which is the standard practice in these categories.
Fire it only where it matters
Display rules mean the gate can appear on the shop section and not on the blog, or on a timed delay, or on specific pages. Gating a whole site when only part of it needs it costs traffic for nothing.
How it works
Pick the verification method
A yes or no confirmation is the lightest touch and the least friction. A birth year is a middle ground. A full date of birth is the strictest of the three. Match it to what your category actually asks of you rather than defaulting to the hardest one.
Set the age and the redirect
Define the minimum age, then set where an underage visitor goes. Sending them somewhere sensible is better than leaving them staring at a blocked page, and it is one field.
Embed one line of code
Copy the snippet from the Add to Website tab and paste it on the pages that need it. Display rules decide when the popup fires, so you can gate a section rather than the whole site.
What you get with the Common Ninja Age Gate
Three verification methods
A confirmation button, a birth year, or a full date of birth. The stricter the method, the more visitors abandon, so the choice is a real trade rather than a formality.
Redirect instead of a dead end
Set a URL for visitors who do not meet the age, so they land somewhere deliberate rather than on a blocked screen with nowhere to go.
Display rules
Trigger the popup on page load, after a delay, on scroll, on exit intent, or only on specific pages, so the gate covers the restricted part of the site and leaves the rest alone.
Layouts, skins, and icons
Several layouts and ready-made skins, plus a set of icons for the popup, with full control over colours, fonts, and spacing and custom CSS on top.
Everything in the Age Gate editor
Choose from Multiple Age Gate Layouts
Age Gate offers several layout options so you can select the structure that best fits your website’s design and content style. Each layout is built to look clean, clear, and consistent across different page types.
Select the Right Age Verification Method
Age Gate supports multiple validation methods, including confirmation buttons, birth year entry, and full date of birth input. This flexibility allows you to tailor the verification process to your legal requirements and design preferences.
Apply Prebuilt Skins for a Polished Age Gate
Age Gate includes a selection of ready made visual skins that help you achieve a professional look instantly. These styles reduce the need for heavy customization while ensuring the popup fits naturally within modern website designs.
Fully Customize the Age Gate Experience
Age Gate gives you full control over colors, fonts, spacing, and layout details. You can fine tune every visual element to match your brand and website style, all through an intuitive editor without technical effort.
Responsive Age Gate for Every Device
Age Gate adapts automatically to desktop, tablet, and mobile screens, ensuring the verification popup looks and functions properly on any device. This helps you deliver a consistent experience in today’s mobile first browsing environment.
Extend Styling with Custom CSS
For advanced design needs, Age Gate supports custom CSS. This allows you to fine tune styles, animations, and layout details for a more tailored integration with your website.

Enhance Your Age Gate with Visual Icons
Age Gate includes a curated set of icons that you can add to the verification popup. These visual elements help reinforce the message, improve clarity, and create a more polished and trustworthy appearance.
Define When and Where the Age Gate Appears
With customizable display rules, Age Gate lets you control exactly how the verification popup is triggered. You can choose actions such as page exit, scroll behavior, timed delays, or specific page conditions to align with your user flow.
Redirect Underage Visitors to the Right Destination
Age Gate allows you to set a custom redirect URL when a visitor does not meet the required age. Instead of blocking access entirely, you can guide users to another page of your choice, creating a smoother and more considerate browsing experience.
Simple Setup with No Technical Skills Required
Age Gate is designed for ease of use and does not require coding knowledge. Using a visual editor with drag and drop controls, you can customize the widget quickly and apply changes in just a few clicks.

Quick answers
No. It asks, and it records the answer the visitor gives. Nothing that runs in a browser can confirm a date of birth, and any widget claiming otherwise is overselling. What a gate does is make the question explicit, which is what the practice in these categories is built around.
The lightest one your situation allows. A confirmation button loses the fewest visitors. A birth year asks for slightly more. A full date of birth is the strictest and the most abandoned. Reaching for the hardest option by default costs traffic without changing what the gate can actually prove.
You set a redirect URL and they go there. Leaving them on a blocked screen is the worse option, and picking a sensible destination is a single field in the editor.
Yes, through display rules. Trigger the popup on specific pages, on load, after a delay, on scroll, or on exit intent. Gating a whole site when only the shop needs it costs you every visitor who came for the blog.
Configure the display rules so it fires when a visitor arrives at the restricted area rather than repeatedly. A gate that reappears on every page reads as broken and is the fastest way to lose someone who already answered.
Yes, the popup adapts to desktop, tablet, and mobile. Check it on a real phone, because a date of birth field with three dropdowns is noticeably harder on a small screen and that is where the abandonment shows up.
Yes. Several layouts and ready-made skins, plus control over colours, fonts, spacing, and icons, with custom CSS for anything the built-in settings do not reach.
