# Site Access

Access controls who can see the public site and what they see before normal content loads.

## Site mode

Choose **Live**, **Presale**, **Waitlist**, **Maintenance**, or **Internal**. Switching modes opens a confirmation dialog. Presale is available only when Cedros Login, Pay, and Shop provide the required commerce contracts; otherwise it is disabled. Non-Live modes reveal their matching copy and configuration fields. Waitlist early access also depends on Cedros Login support.

## Other access controls

- **Search engines** — allow or prevent the site from appearing in search results.
- **Age verification** — require visitors to confirm a minimum age stored on their device.
- **Regional access** — choose launch countries, hard-block countries, and normal or strict verification behavior.

Changes autosave. Test access changes in a private browser session before announcing them, especially Internal, regional blocks, or a new presale/waitlist flow.
