## Description

Pavel Silinskii Age Verification shows a verification popup when a visitor enters
your site or specific pages. When the visitor confirms their age, the choice is 
remembered in a cookie. When they decline, the page is blocked with a message or
the visitor is redirected elsewhere.

#### Features

 * Two verification modes: Yes/No buttons or date of birth entry
 * Configurable minimum age (14, 16, 18, 21)
 * Show on the entire site or only on selected pages and categories
 * Decline action: block the page with a message, or redirect to a URL
 * Configurable cookie duration
 * Light and dark popup styles, custom overlay color
 * Fully translatable, server-side age validation
 * No data collected: only a single `avps_verified` cookie is stored

## Installation

 1. Upload the `pavel-silinskii-age-verification` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`,
    or install through the Plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu.
 3. Go to **Settings  Age Verification** to configure the popup.

## FAQ

### Does the popup block content for search engines?

The popup is rendered client-side in the footer and content stays in the page source,
so it does not hide content from crawlers.

### How is the age calculated in date of birth mode?

The submitted date is validated on the server and the full number of years between
that date and today is compared to the configured minimum age.

### What data does the plugin store?

Only plugin settings (one option row) and a single `avps_verified` cookie in the
visitor’s browser. Everything is removed on uninstall.
