Comment (by mnelson4):

 Yeah @xkon I think that satisfies the requirement. Personally I'd be
 inclined to have two arguments for the functions, the first being an email
 and the second being the consent's identifier. That would be clearer than
 providing an array IMO.

 Using the posts table seems a bit heavy-handed because this data isn't
 very post-y (most columns are unused, and all the important data needs to
 be stored separately), but I don't have any better suggestions than using
 a custom table. Usermeta won't work because we need to track consent for
 non-users (eg commenters). Storing this info as a option seems barbaric.

 TBH I'd be most happy with a custom table but I realize that has a lot of
 migration work etc.
