Comment (by garrett-eclipse):

 Thanks for the feedback @pento I tend to agree would be nice to save the
 dismissed state of the notice there.

 I can definitely work on that functionality but am hoping for a little
 direction if you don't mind.
 To keep the notice dismissed I would be adding a flag either as a Cookie,
 Session data or User Meta and am wondering if there's an existing standard
 (maybe an example) for this in core?

 As well whatever storage method is used I feel should get cleared when the
 policy text has changed so as to re-introduce the guide link.
 If I do that it would make sense to be done here along side the
 `policy_text_changed_notice` notice which re-appears on the privacy.php
 screen.
 And by here I mean -
 https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/51155f3989c29bbae5322b6cba58952a7c58b0ba
 /wp-admin/includes/misc.php#L1428


 I'm leaning towards using User Meta over Cookie/Session data as it
 pertains across browsers/devices and is a more permanent dismissal but
 would love your thoughts.

 Thanks
