This short research report and policy briefing presents CNIL's analysis of the main types of age verification systems in order to clarify its position on age control on the internet, and in particular pornographic sites for which such control is mandatory. It specifies how these publishers could fulfill their legal obligations. However, the CNIL notes that these current systems are circumventable and intrusive and calls for the implementation of models that are more respectful of privacy.
