ACCESSIBILITY TASK · REVIEWED AUGUST 31, 2026
Accessible Adult Age Gate Check
An adults-only gate must communicate purpose and remain operable before commercial companion content becomes reachable.
This task records scoped evidence. It is not accessibility certification, legal advice or a universal result.
What this page owns
Check that an adults-only gate is perceivable operable and unambiguous.
Begin with the named task and preserve the setup. Do not turn a product statement, automated scan or reachable page into proof that a person can complete the task.
Four steps, one documented result
- 01
Open the gate with keyboard and screen reader navigation.
- 02
Confirm focus starts inside the dialog and cannot disappear behind it.
- 03
Read the adult-use, AI and sponsored-route disclosure.
- 04
Accept or leave using clearly named controls, then confirm focus returns sensibly.
Make the observation reproducible
- Setup
- Device, operating system, browser, input method and assistive technology.
- Task
- Starting point, action and expected outcome in plain language.
- Result
- Pass, barrier observed or not checked — never a guessed score.
- Limit
- An age gate communicates a boundary; it is not proof of identity, age verification or suitability.
