How would you implement a checkbox in a normal click-to-play (in-content) 
experience?

To be clear that's a 30 day sliding window from last time content was played 
there.  So if you visit a given site with plugin content (say youtube.com) at 
least once every 30 days, you conceivably should not see that prompt again 
unless you become vulnerable to a security issue.  

Also, to be honest I'm picking arbitrary numbers like 30 days and 4 times 
mostly to stimulate conversation. :)
