AesirX Features: Age Verification
AGE VERIFICATION
Verify user age without turning your site into a tracking system.
AesirX CMP confirms age eligibility with wallet-based credentials and zero-knowledge proofs, returning a simple yes/no without collecting identity data, storing documents, or creating logs.
Why Age Verification Matters
Age-gated services are becoming more common, but most age verification tools still rely on document uploads, national ID systems, or centralized verification APIs. These approaches create friction for users and introduce hidden risks for organizations. Even when positioned as privacy-friendly, many systems phone home, generating logs that reveal where and when verification happens. Over time, those logs can be linked across services, turning age checks into a form of behavioral tracking and increasing compliance exposure.
AesirX CMP Age Verification addresses this by separating proof privacy from system privacy. Using wallet-based credentials and zero-knowledge proofs with Concordium ID, the age predicate is proven locally inside the wallet. The website interacts only with AesirX CMP as a first-party component and receives a simple yes or no. No documents, birthdates, identifiers, or verification trails are shared, and the issuer never learns where verification occurs. Each result is bound to a domain-specific pseudonym, preventing cross-site linkability by design.
For organizations and agencies, this reduces operational and legal risk, removes the need to handle sensitive identity data, and delivers regulation-ready age gating without building surveillance infrastructure.

How it works
Configured in CMP to verify age through wallet credentials and zero-knowledge proofs.
Enables verification
Defines age rules
Receives proof result
Age Verification is enabled through the CMP, where you set the age threshold and preview how the check appears to visitors. When activated, the site requests a wallet-based proof. A zero-knowledge proof confirms eligibility, and the CMP returns only yes or no.
TIP: Concordium ID is recommended for full unlinkability. Other wallets work, but may involve limited verification callbacks until CuK support is finalized.
Note that AI Auto-Blocking works for plugins and scripts loaded through WordPress’ standard architecture. Scripts hardcoded in theme files are not detected and must be added to blocking rules manually

AesirX CMP Age Verification uses zero-knowledge proofs to confirm whether a visitor meets your age threshold. The wallet generates the proof locally, and your website receives only a yes or no. Nothing else is shared, not even the birthdate. This protects both the business and the user, because there is no document upload, no shared ID numbers, and no trail that can be linked across sites. This approach makes privacy-safe age verification practical for teams that want age-gating without becoming handlers of sensitive personal data.
Traditional age checks depend on central identity systems that “phone home,” creating logs of who verified, when, and where. These logs can be combined into profiles, which is risky under GDPR and other privacy laws. With AesirX CMP’s Age Verification tool, the wallet produces the proof locally, acting as a digital age gate with no external callbacks. Concordium ID provides full unlinkability, while wallets like Google Wallet are supported with expanding verification methods. This gives organizations a private, scalable alternative to high-friction document checks.
Yes. Since no personal data is collected or stored, businesses avoid the responsibility of processing sensitive identity information. The CMP simply receives a binary proof through a GDPR-compliant age verification method, making age gating easier to deploy across high-traffic sites. This is particularly useful in sectors with strict requirements, such as alcohol retail, adult content, gambling, gaming, and financial services, where proving age is mandatory but handling documents introduces legal and operational risk.
No. Each verification generates a one-time-use pseudonym scoped to the domain. Even when the same wallet is used, verification events cannot be tied together, and no central authority receives a log of where checks occur. This gives businesses age verification without ID storage, helping them adopt age controls without creating new tracking surfaces or becoming part of a cross-site identity graph.
Teams use AesirX CMP Age Verification to add age checks where access must legally depend on age, such as alcohol sales, online gambling, adult content, gaming platforms, high-risk financial services, and regulated entertainment. The CMP handles the visitor flow, shows the configured message, and triggers the wallet proof. This makes the website age restriction tool suitable for projects that need privacy-first access control without per-use fees, document uploads, or heavy operational overhead.
