I am creating a porn website for my client. Now because of UK laws, we need to have an enter page that confirms that the user is over 18 years old.
Now I've had a look at competitors and they are actually putting an overlay over the whole homepage, and when you click accept it then hides.
Would Google see this as you trying to "cloak" and hide text? Because essentially you are hiding everything on the website until a user clicks accept.
Can anyone advise me on the best way to go about this?

They give examples of techniques that would fall foul of thier new penalty and also examples that would not be affected, one of which is:
Interstitials that appear to be in response to a legal obligation, such as for cookie usage or for age verification.
So I think it's fair to assume if Google are ok with pop ups, or overlays for age verification on mobiles, they would be fine if used on desktop too.
