Is my Squarespace template supported?
Yes! If you are using a Squarespace template, this plugin is compatible with your site, unless you are using a Personal billing plan.
It is compatible with all Squarespace supplied templates on version 7.0 and version 7.1, using Business plans and above (see below).
Is my Squarespace plan supported?
The plugin can be installed on sites that are on the Business, Commerce Basic and Commerce Advanced plans, as well as some legacy plans. The plugin is unsuitable for the Personal plan because this plan does not support JavaScript. If you are unsure which plan you are on, check the Billing section of your website. To do this, click Settings, click Billing & Account, and then click Billing.
How does it work?
When someone visits your website for the first time, they'll see a popup asking them to confirm they are of a suitable age to view the content. You decide the message!
Your website will be displayed 'underneath' the popup, but a semi-transparent overlay will prevent them accessing the site until they click one of the buttons in the popup. You choose how transparent the overlay should be.
If they tap the Yes button, the popup will disappear (in an animated way) and they'll be allowed to access your site. A cookie will be created on their computer so that the popup doesn't reappear for a set period of time. You decide how long this should be!
If they click the No button, they'll see a message explaining that they cannot visit the website. A button in the popup allows them to return to the website they were viewing previously or to view another website. You specify this behaviour.
Can I try the plugin?
Yes, please try our simple demonstration site
Can I choose a different language?
Yes. The text on the popup is fully customisable, including the buttons. You can change the text to any language.
Will the popup affect my site's SEO?
The simple answer is no.
You may have read that popups can affect your siteβs SEO (its ranking on search engines). This is true if they use a redirect or interstitial. However our plugin serves the popup without blocking search engines from crawling your site. It uses a JavaScript/CSS overlay that allows the search engine to read your content, but effectively blocks human visitors from viewing it until theyβve confirmed they arenβt underage.
Can I customise the font family?
When supplied, the popup uses standard fonts that are available on the majority of devices, including Arial, Helvetica and sans-serif. If you would like to style the popup by using a font already installed on your site you can change this in the CSS. This is explained in the installation guide.
Can I customise the colours?
Yes. To keep things simple, weβve used two colours: red (#B40035) and white (#FFF), but you can replace these with anything you like. All you need to know are the colour codes (or hex codes) that you want to use. If you have a branding guide, you probably know the colours that are used by your business.
If you donβt, you can use this colour picker to select your colours, then paste the values.
Can I make the overlay darker (less transparent)?
Beneath the popup, an overlay hides your site content until the visitor confirms they are eligible to view your site. By default the overlay is 80% opaque but you can adjust the transparency to meet your needs.
Can I prompt the visitor for their date of birth?
The plugin asks visitors to click βYesβ or βNoβ to confirm whether they are eligible to access the site. It does not ask for their date of birth as this is personally identifiable information. Data protection laws vary, but in many territories asking a visitor for their date of birth in return for access to the site may not be considered lawful use of this personal data.
Which pages will this popup protect?
The popup can appear on all pages of your website or selected pages. You decide during installation.
By default, this popup will appear on all pages of your Squarespace website until the user confirms that they want to view the website. by clicking one of the popup buttons. This happens regardless of which page they view first. For example, they may arrive on your site from a search engine result and never view the homepage.
