# Private Communities

> **18+ only.** This page links to age-restricted and region-locked rooms.

This page intentionally keeps the private Matrix URL out of the public footer. Access requires an age confirmation and an eligible country selection.

<label for="age-confirm"><input id="age-confirm" type="checkbox"> I confirm I am 18 or older.</label>

<label for="country-select">Country or region
<select id="country-select">
  <option value="">Select a country</option>
  <option>Canada</option>
  <option>Switzerland</option>
  <option>Russia</option>
  <option>Iran</option>
  <option>Somalia</option>
  <option>Turkmenistan</option>
  <option>Other</option>
</select>
</label>
