ABSTRACT:
A method of age verification for electronic media. The method includes the step of displaying a gateway page containing one or more of the following: a warning, user age limitation, terms and conditions, completion instructions, sworn statement, E-Sign Act statement, date of birth block, signature block, and activation button. User age and name are entered in the date of birth block and signature block. Upon clicking the activation button, software associated with the gateway page calculates each user's age by determining the difference between the current date and the user's date of birth. If the user's age thus calculated equals or exceeds a threshold age, access to the site is provided. If the user's name does not meet or exceed the threshold age, access to the site is denied. Names, dates of birth, times and dates of attempted access, and IP addresses may be stored in an access attempts record.
