Advanced Security & Legal Compliance

To configure your security settings, navigate to Age Verification in your WordPress admin dashboard and click on the Security / Lockout PRO tab.

• Strict Anti-Bypass Lockout: Prevent teenagers from simply clicking "Back", refreshing, or lying about their age. Enabling this feature drops lockout cookies and logs IP addresses for failed verifications. You can set a strict ban duration (e.g., 24 hours) and customize the lockout screen message.

• Secure Vault & Watermarking: If local laws require record retention, scroll down to the Compliance & Legal Vault section and enable "Secure Vault Retention" to store documents in a hidden, .htaccess-protected directory. Toggle "Auto-Watermarking" to automatically stamp uploaded ID images with your Site Name and Date, protecting users from identity theft and preventing ID reuse.

• Audit Logging & Agreements: Force users to accept your Terms & Conditions by checking a mandatory agreement box. Enable Audit Logging to securely record the IP, Country, and Timestamp of every successful verification. You can easily export this data via the "Download Logs (CSV)" button for state audits.
