Usage of a direct database call is discouraged

[pnnande]

Hello,

I am simply inserting a row into a table.

global $wpdb;

$table_consent = $wpdb->prefix . 'gjmji_consent';

$wpdb->insert(
	$table_consent,
	array(
		'email'    => sanitize_email( wp_unslash( $_GET['gjmp4wp-email'] ) ),
		'language' => WPMJI_LANGUAGE_CURRENT,
	),
);

My code sniffer (wpcs) is telling me that “Usage of a direct database call is discouraged.” I tried something with prepare a while back but couldn’t figure it out. Is that the way to go?

How do I do this properly?

Thanks!
Pragati
