Does Netflix check your age?

Yes, Netflix does check your age, primarily through the account owner's birthdate for ad-supported plans and for accessing mature content via parental controls or specific age verification prompts. While it relies on self-reported data for settings, it enforces age-based content restrictions using Parental Controls, allowing parents to filter by maturity ratings or block specific titles, and sometimes prompts for age verification to access R-rated/mature content.
