# How to set up Age Gating on your website


## Steps to take to set up an Age Gating requirement for your website

Depending on the industry of your company and certain regulations that you may be subject to, you may want to make sure that your customers meet a certain age requirement to access your website. Clym's Age Gating solution provides a straightforward way to restrict access to your content based on users' ages. By implementing this feature, you can create a safer online environment, particularly for industries where age restrictions are crucial, such as alcohol, gaming, and adult content. This article will guide you through setting up the Age Gating solution, allowing you to integrate age gating protocols into your website seamlessly.

In the Clym Control Center, you can configure the age gating settings to require users to input their date of birth or confirm their compliance with age restrictions. Whether you're looking to foster a responsible online community or to follow certain regulations that your industry is subject to, following the steps outlined in this guide will help you successfully implement the Age Gating solution and enhance your site's integrity.

Please note: Based on the industry that your business operates in, there may be Age Gating settings that are automatically configured based on your Company Data.

Toggle on **Enable age gating features**. In the **minimum age (years)** field, you can set the minimum age required by website visitors to access your website. In the **Age confirmation type** field, you can choose whether you would like users to provide confirmation that they meet a certain requirement or to provide their specific date of birth for proof. In the **Consent validity (days)**, you can set the duration for which the user's age confirmation remains valid before the user is prompted again. If you would like to set **Conditional display** where users only see the widget on certain pages, you can choose to load or not load the widget on specific pages. Lastly, you have the option to **Redirect users that are not age appropriate**, which will send the website visitor to a specific page if they do not meet the age requirement to view your website. Click **Save**.
