 * Could someone please explain exactly what the settings do? There are zero instructions
   for the most important part of installation, only ‘Fill out all sections of the
   settings page.’ HOW? What do all these settings do? Outgoing email limitation?
   What outgoing mail? The Getting Started documentation should probably start at…
   getting started! I am so frustrated that I deactivated it and won’t be using 
   it until I understand what I am supposed to do to use it.

 * The documentation has everything that you need but it’s a little difficult to
   interpret at the moment, but I believe that’s being looked into.
 * You need to enter the information into the settings page on the dashboard in 
   the various places, including adding your privacy policy page and registering
   the cookies your site uses and what your users need to consent to.
 * Once you have that up and running you should see the bar appear but in order 
   to make the cookie consent work you need to use the helpers provided in the documentation,
   placed in your functions.php.

 * I am going to improve documentation. But it is hard to push all improvements 
   in time for GDPR and have perfect documentation with videos and all that. I want
   all that. I just need to wrap up what I’m doing to get into improving it.
 * Also, if you look at the top of your screen, on the right, you should see a little
   help thing. These texts are also being reviewed since some things are changing
   but it does explain what those things are.
 * Also, for V2(release later today) I am adding a little information icon next 
   to each option with a tooltip with more explanation of what each thing is.
