Even then, the prompt could be as easy as a "recheck" button that the user sees on age restricted media. Kind of like how their age verification bucket was going to be. Database side all they need to know is a boolean of true or false of if they are a minor or not. or /maybe/ a trinary (0,1,2) system if that wanted a distinguishment of < 13 13-17 and 18+ It doesn't have to check daily, it only has to check when the user requests access to age restricted stuff.
