What does age limit mean for a game or app

The age limit for content is set based on several factors. More information can be found below.

Age limit and description

Age restrictions indicate how old a user must be to access content. However, they do not imply that the app is intended for any particular age group.

The restriction is dependent on several factors, including the presence of obscene language, sexual or violent scenes, drug use, and references to gambling.

To find out why an app was assigned a certain age rating, click the icon More ... on the app details page.

Interactive functions

See the "Details" section of the application page for information on interactive features. For example, a program can open access to the location of users or allow them to interact with each other.

Note. The interactive features of the app are not related to its age limit.

What does the status "No classification" mean?

Apps that do not have an age limit are assigned the "Not classified" status. They rank among the apps with the highest age limit.

If you turn on parental controls and set any age restriction, applications with the "Unclassified" status will be hidden in the Play Store.

What age restrictions apply in different countries

Requirements for app age limits are set by specific local organizations.

South Korea

Games only

Age restrictions in South Korea are set by the GRAC (Game Rating and Administration Committee).

Occasionally, age limits for games may be based on the Google Play rating system, which is commonly used in South Korea to classify non-gaming apps (see the Other Apps section). In order for the game to be assigned an age limit in accordance with the system below, the developer must complete a new questionnaire in the Play Console.

Due to the fact that a huge amount of information is currently in the public domain, some of it must be limited to a certain age category. Now any child can freely use computers or other devices, and access to the world wide web is practically unlimited.

Restricting access to the network is not only a problem for children. Many companies are also interested in such restrictions to improve the level of work of their employees.

How to organize parental control in Yandex browser?
Today there are many opportunities to solve this problem. Unfortunately, there is no one button that can protect against all problems.

To set restrictions in Yandex browser, you need to take several steps.

Family search

One of the simplest settings. As you know, when entering a query into a search engine, it gives the most relevant (maximum matching) results in the search results list. By default, the Yandex browser is configured with the "moderate" search mode, which practically does not filter content. Thus, all unwanted sites for certain requests will be present in the search results.

Yandex has its own filter for such cases, but to activate it, you must enable it in the browser settings. To do this, first enable the Yandex search engine by default:

1.Open the browser menu and go to the "Settings" section.

2. Scroll to the "Search" item and set "Yandex" by default ":

Now go to the search settings page https://yandex.ru/search/customize and select "Family search".

Important! In order for this filter to work on a permanent basis, you must make sure that your browser saves cookies.

Anti-shock filter

This filter is a built-in function for Yandex browser - also a kind of parental control. It can be used both separately and in combination with other settings and restrictions.

This setting will get rid of:

• annoying pop-up ads that imitate service notifications of various popular sites (save you from losing passwords, personal data or money),
• various "shock content" - banners with various pornographic, brutal, shocking videos,
• automatic redirection to prohibited sites when clicking on the pages.

By default, this add-on is already enabled in the browser. In other cases, to turn it on, we tear off:

1. "Menu".
2. "Supplements".
3. Find the section "Ad Blocking".
4. "Anti-shock" - enable.

Installing browser add-ons

The best parental control app for Yandex browser is Adult Blocker. You can install it directly from the Yandex application catalog. To do this, go to "Settings" -\u003e "Add-ons" -\u003e "Directory of extensions":

A window will open with all the extensions available for the browser. Let's use the search bar to quickly install the add-on:

After the installation is complete, the plugin starts working automatically. One of the useful features of this plugin is password protection. To do this, click on the plugin icon in the browser window and set a password:

Connecting special DNS servers

This method is the most complete and global. The fact is that when setting up access to the Internet through a special filtering server, the restrictions will apply not only to the Yandex browser, but also to all others installed on this device.

There are three types of filters:

• Basic (server addresses - 77.88.8.8 and 77.88.8.1);
• Safe (server addresses - 77.88.8.88 and 77.88.8.2);
• Family (server addresses - 77.88.8.7 and 77.88.8.3).

The difference in protection capabilities can be seen in this comparison table:

How it works

When an attempt is made to search for specific information, the request is first processed by the search engine, which determines a list of relevant answers. Further, the entire collection of information is run through the above-mentioned DNS filter and when compared with the database, unwanted sites are eliminated (depending on the selected filter level). As a result, sites that have passed the system selection are included in the user search results.

How to setup

There are three options for configuring DNS:

• Editing the properties of a network connection in the operating system.
• Restricting access using the hosts file.
• Enabling DNS in the router.

For the first option, we need to go to the "Network and Sharing Center" section. The shortest path is:

• find your network icon on the taskbar;
• call the context menu with the second key;
• go to the required section.

In the window that opens, find "Connections" and go to the editing window:

Click "Properties" - "IP version 4 (TCP / IPv4)" and again "Properties":

Having gone this long way, we finally reach the goal - in this window we can edit the access to the network and register our server addresses depending on the selected protection level:

Click "OK". If you need to disable this mode, you will have to follow the same path and select the "Obtain DNS" item automatically in the last window.

There are times when the network is already configured to work with specific DNS servers. In this case, the previous option cannot be applied. In this case, you must use the capabilities of the hosts file.

Interesting! This type of setting has the highest priority over any other DNS setting. Thus, it can be used in conjunction with other settings.

It should be noted that for further operations you must have administrator rights.

1. Find the hosts file on the computer. It is located in the system folder, which has the path C: \\ Windows \\ System32 \\ drivers \\ etc (this line can be copied and pasted into the folder address bar, press "Enter"):

2. In the opened folder, find the required file and open it with notepad.

Attention! Before making changes to this file, it is highly recommended to make a backup. In case of any errors, it will be possible to return the system to its original form.

3. Only one change needs to be made in this file - at the very end add the following address: 213.180.193.56 yandex.ru

The router configuration option is more complicated. There is no single instruction due to the fact that each manufacturer has its own setup menu. But it all comes down to the fact that in the settings of your router you need to register one of the above DNS addresses from Yandex. To find out how to enable this option, read the instructions for your device.

The advantage of this option is that the restrictions will apply to all connected devices and browsers used in them.

Third party services

In addition to restrictions in the Yandex browser itself or the operating system, there are many parent filters from third-party manufacturers.

The most common programs with this functionality are complex anti-virus programs (Dr.Web Security Space 11, Kaspersky Internet Security, ESET NOD32, Smart Security).

In addition, specialized products have been developed to protect against unwanted content. Of the top ones, you can distinguish:

KinderGate. Parental control. Allows you not only to prohibit unwanted content, but also to track all the activities of the child on the network.

KidsControl. Free software... Restricts access to many unwanted sites, including online games and social networks.

Children's browser Gogul. Has a specific set of allowed sites. Plus, it is possible to enable the function of limiting the time spent on the network.

Parents should remember that, unfortunately, there is no 100% protection against negative information on the web. You can always find workarounds, or disable existing protection. New sites appear, cybercriminals find ways to bypass filters. Don't rely on technology. Remember that forewarned is forearmed.

It will not be superfluous to spend a small educational program with the child:

• The child must understand that the Internet is primarily an assistant.
• Determine the time frame within which the child will access the network.
• Explain that the Internet is not anonymous, you cannot disclose your personal data. Try to come up with a nickname that he will use on the network.
• Tell him in advance about possible negative material that he may see on the web (adult content, drugs). Agree with him that if this happens, he will definitely tell you about it.
• Talk with your child about the possibilities of Internet friendship, that on the other side of the screen people are not always who they say they are. Ask him to consult with you before making such acquaintances.
• Tell about scammers who fraudulently deceive money. Tell us that you cannot send SMS or enter bank card details on websites. There is no freebie, and all kinds of prizes and gifts are just a way to deceive a person. If he needs to buy something, do it with him.

As a result, we can say that only a comprehensive approach to child safety can guarantee a satisfactory result. Do not neglect the possibilities, try to study the problem thoroughly and implement the proposed solutions.

What is Parental Control?

Why is Parental Control needed?

We live in the age of information technology - nowadays every schoolchild has a phone or smartphone, many parents even buy tablets for their kids.

Undoubtedly, modern children are confident users of the computer and the Internet - by the age of ten, almost everyone has pages on online services. Statistics show that it is average age, from which the independent use of social networks begins. In ten years! It is not surprising that parents who initially allowed their child to use the Internet soon begin to think about dangerous and inappropriate for children sites on the Internet. Now this problem is really acute. In a sense, the Internet is very useful and contributes to the development of the child, but along with this, it is worth thinking about the risks associated with the promotion of materials for adults or prohibited materials that a child with an unformed understanding of some things immediately remembers.

How does Parental Control work?

The first thing to do after installing Adguard when setting up parental control is password protection so that the child cannot bypass the access restrictions that you selected. Then you choose the user who will be protected by our module. And you adjust the sensitivity level.

The sensitivity level determines which sites will be allowed access, and which are denied. Basically, it determines how thorough the website filtering will be for a given user.

So, what is included in Adguard Parental Control protection?

You can prevent the download of executable files. This means that child control will prevent downloading dangerous programs to your computer.

We have already noted the sensitivity level. From the three available levels, you can choose protection for a child who is 3 years old or older, 10 years old or older, 13 years old or older. The younger the age of the young user, the stricter the filtering will be.

If you think that it is too early for your child to sit in certain social networks or go to some specific sites - you can add their URL (address) to the blacklist. Whitelisting is a reverse tool that allows you to exclude a website.

Password protection. Site browsing will be limited. A child can only get on it with your permission. Whether these pages are safe for children or not is up to you.

We recommend that you create a separate, limited account for your child so that, as an administrator, you have full control over which sites they visit on the Internet. You can look at the instructions on how to do this on the Microsoft website by selecting your operating system (Windows 7, Vista, 8, 8.1).

Parental control of Adguard will make the Internet safe for children and provide peace of mind for parents. You can see how our Internet censor for children works by downloading it for free for review on our official website.

Yandex.Direct is quite convenient and simple tool contextual advertising, in comparison with Google AdWords, but nevertheless, it is very rich, and often, especially for beginners, questions may arise why one or another function of Direct does not work or does not work as it should. Here we have collected some of the most common problems with Yandex.Direct and ways to solve them.

Ads not showing

We wrote in detail about why you may not see your ads. In short, the main reasons can be:

• lack of money
• low rate
• mistake in geographic or time targeting
• wrong choice of display strategy

When a warning or age limit appears

Some goods or services are marked with a mark 18+ or some default warning and there is no fix. These are the Yandex.Direct rules. The age limit is set, for example, for advertising films and games, and various warnings are set for all kinds of topics, from dietary supplements to financial services and baby food.

However, sometimes such an inscription appears on an ad that should not appear. This is not to say that it is critical, but all the same, it introduces some confusion and confuses the client. In this case, you can write to the moderators, and if the warning was really issued in error, they will apologize to you and quickly fix everything.

Ads declined by moderator

A problem like the one described above can occur with. Your ads may not even be marked with an extra mark, but completely rejected, for example, under the pretext of a legal prohibition of such a product. Naturally, we are now talking not about cases when advertising of weapons is banned, but for example, when the advertising of legal advice was mistaken by the moderators for a microfinance organization. In this case, the issue is resolved by the same direct appeal to moderation.

In other cases, depending on the claims made, it is required to send.

Few impressions status

Status became a real scourge for campaigns that target low-frequency keys, and immediately made the previously dominant rule irrelevant "1 key \u003d 1 ad"... Now, if an ad is marked with this status, then it will not be shown. There are several ways to deal with this:

• increase in the rate per click
• expansion of geo targeting
• combining keys into one group
• make wider audience reach

YAN works ineffectively

This problem occurs quite often with advertising on sites: it can show good results, which turn out to be short-lived. Traffic flows, but its quality decreases, the bounce rate grows, and there are fewer and fewer applications. This is due to the fact that there are hundreds of thousands or millions of sites in the Yandex advertising network, many of which are not intended for advertising in any way. It is impossible to predict them in advance, except for a limited list of unreliable ones, and Direct is constantly adding new ones. From this it follows that the site is needed, and it should be done regularly.

Budget runs out quickly

The most visible problem, and most likely the most painful. And which there is no unambiguous solution, because there is no unambiguous definition: fast and a lot is how much? For one advertiser, the normal expense would be thirty thousand rubles a day, and for another - three. Moreover, they can work in the same niche. If you feel that you do not want to spend as much as now you spend on advertising, then you can consider options with changing the strategy of impressions, placing part (possibly more) of ads in, disabling related key queries, with a focus only on targeted commercial queries , changing the time targeting. But at the same time, you need to understand that it will not work to lower the price endlessly, it is set within the framework of auctions, and for some keys it will be invariably large.

Do not miss:

Yandex is the most popular internet browser in Russia, used by millions of people every day. Among them are children and adolescents, whose parents often want to protect their children from inappropriate content. For this, the Yandex browser provides a family filter function, with which you can remove 18+ category materials from search results.

But sometimes there are situations when this useful feature needs to be disabled. For example, you have already downloaded a browser where the family filter was enabled by default. In this article, we'll show you how to turn off the family filter in Yandex.

Disable family filter in a simple way

There is nothing complicated in the disconnection process, everything is clear intuitively. To turn off family filter in your browser, follow these steps:

It remains only to check whether the function has been disabled by entering a query and viewing the results of the issue.

An important clarification. To keep the new settings forever and not revert to their previous state over time, please log in to your account before changing them.

Another way to turn off the family filter

It may happen that the method described above will not give the desired result, and the search results will continue to be limited. Then it is worth resorting to the following sequence of actions:

Disable DNS Family Filter

Sometimes the filtering function is not enabled in the browser or in a separate program, but at the system level. This can be a restriction via DNS or the hosts file.

First, let's describe how to disable the filter via DNS:

Now you need to check the hosts file for redirection. You can find this file by following the path Windows -\u003e System32 -\u003e drivers -\u003e etc. Open the file with a text editor, for example, notepad. When the file opens, carefully look to see if there is an inscription 213.180.193.56 yandex.ru. Found it? Then delete and save the changes made.

That's all, the search results of your Internet browser have become complete again.
