AesirX CMP for WordPress v2.0.0

AesirX Consent Management Platform introduces zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) ID verification to its Consent Management Platform, allowing websites to verify age and location without exposing personal data or creating a tracking trail.

NEW YORK, AUGUST 15, 2025 – AesirX has released version 2.0.0 of its Consent Management Platform (CMP), introducing Age and Country Verification that prevents the surveillance risks common in traditional ID checks. Powered by zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) on the Concordium blockchain, the system confirms a user’s age or country without revealing personal details or leaving a permanent record that could be linked across sites.

From online safety laws in the UK and France to location-based content restrictions worldwide, more websites are being required to verify visitor age or country. This affects a wide range of sectors – from alcohol sales and online gambling to adult content platforms, financial services, and any other service where lawful access depends on the user’s age or jurisdiction.

Most existing solutions connect to centralized identity systems that “phone home” to the credential issuer each time a verification occurs – creating a silent log of when, where, and why someone verified their identity. Over time, these logs can be combined into behavioral profiles, allowing cross-site tracking without consent.

AesirX CMP 2.0.0 takes a different approach. Verification is handled locally through ZKPs, returning only a “yes” or “no” result. Neither the website nor the credential issuer sees or stores any other information, eliminating the possibility of cross-site tracking or profiling.

What’s New in CMP v2.0.0?

ID Verification 

The new ID Verification feature confirms user identity attributes without revealing personal data or creating a tracking trail. Using ZKPs and wallet-based credentials, it returns only a binary result, ensuring privacy while meeting regulatory demands.

How it works:

• Works with supported digital wallets, including Concordium ID and Google Wallet (with additional methods planned).
• Uses ZKPs to confirm attributes such as age or country without exposing personal details.
• Creates a one-time-use pseudonym for each session and domain, preventing cross-site linkability.
• Offers simple onboarding for users without a wallet via Concordium ID creation using a passport or driver’s license, with verification still performed via ZKPs.

Why it matters:

• Removes the “phone home” problem found in most centralised ID systems.
• Meets legal requirements without making the site owner a data controller.
• Protects against profiling by keeping verification events unlinkable.
• Aligns with GDPR Article 25 “Privacy by Design,” a principle regulators actively encourage when evaluating compliance tools.
• Also supports compliance with jurisdiction-specific rules such as the EU Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD) and US COPPA, where age and location-based access controls are mandated.

Note: Full unlinkability and zero-verification traceability is only currently achieved when using Concordium ID. Support for other digital wallets is live in v2.0.0 but may involve limited verification callbacks while CuK support is being finalized.

Age and Country Verification

Built for industries where age or location determines access, this feature enables websites to meet strict legal requirements without storing or sharing sensitive personal data.

How it works:

• Configurable to enable Age Verification, Country Verification, or both.
• Set minimum and maximum age limits for access control.
• Define allowed or disallowed countries to meet jurisdictional rules.
• Uses the same ZKP approach as ID Verification for secure attribute proof.

Why it matters:

• Supports compliance for regulated sectors such as alcohol sales, online gambling, adult content, and financial services.
• Avoids surveillance-heavy systems that log when and where a user verifies their identity.
• Meets access control obligations while keeping user verification private and unlinkable.

Use Case: Age-Gated Access Without Surveillance or Per-Use Fees

Client 

A European online wine retailer.

Challenge 

To comply with age-verification laws, the retailer previously used a national ID system (e.g., MitID in Denmark), but every verification cost between €0.07 and €0.13, and each check “phoned home” to the issuer, creating centralized logs that linked user activity across services and raised GDPR compliance concerns.

Solution with AesirX CMP 2.0.0

By switching to Concordium ID and ZKP verification:

• Age is confirmed via privacy-preserving zero-knowledge proofs.
• No personal data or logs are shared with third parties.
• Verification happens locally - with zero per-use costs.
• Each session uses a unique pseudonym, ensuring unlinkability.

The result? 

Regulation-compliant access control that avoids surveillance while delivering significant cost savings, especially for high-volume traffic sites.

While this use case focuses on age-gated retail, the same approach applies to sectors like online gambling, adult content, financial services, and any site where jurisdiction or age determines legal access.
