Adult (18+) confirmation
OWL Market Watch has one extra step. Choosing Adult mode opens the grown-up site; before Market Watch opens you also tick a one-off box to say you're 18 or over.
- We don't check ID — it's just your word, and it's never sent anywhere as proof of age.
- The tick is remembered on this device only, so other devices ask again.
- Switch to Teen, 8–12 or Under 8 and it's wiped straight away, so Market Watch locks itself.
