What content ratings meta tags do I need to add to my webpage?

The simple answer?

None.

However, if you fall into the following categories then you should certainly consider it:

1. You have useful information on your site - having content rating metatags will mean that everyone will be able to visit your site even if they are using filtering software.

2. If you discuss matters covering violence, drugs, sex, etc. - the metatags would stop young children from viewing inappropriate material on your site.
