Age Gate - Checkbox Variant

EasyCookie-basedForm Submission

Simple age verification using a checkbox confirmation. This pattern tests a scraper's ability to detect form elements, manipulate checkbox state, and handle cookie-based session persistence.

What This Pattern Tests

Core scraping challenges you'll encounter with this variant

•Detecting and interacting with checkbox form elements
•Submitting forms with client-side validation
•Managing cookie-based authentication state
•Testing session persistence vs. permanent storage

How It Works

This is the simplest form of age verification. Users check a box confirming they are 18 or older, and optionally choose to remember this choice. The verification state is stored in a cookie.

Scraper Strategy:

1.Detect the age gate form on page load
2.Locate the checkbox element (id='age-confirm')
3.Set the checkbox to checked state
4.Optionally check 'Remember me' for cookie persistence
5.Submit the form by clicking the 'Enter Site' button
6.Verify the age_verified cookie is set correctly

Quick Bypass

For testing purposes, you can bypass this gate by setting the cookie directly:

document.cookie = "age_verified=true; max-age=2592000; path=/";
