Age verification is the process of confirming an individual’s age to ensure they meet the legal or regulatory requirements for accessing certain products, services, or content. This is commonly implemented to restrict minors from accessing adult material, purchasing age-restricted items such as alcohol or tobacco, or participating in age-sensitive activities like gambling.
