External Services:
This plugin does NOT connect to any external services by default. However:
Google Tag Manager – When you configure a GTM Container ID, the plugin loads Google Tag Manager scripts from googletagmanager.com. This sends page view data to Google according to the consent state. See Google Privacy Policy.
No data is sent to the plugin author – All consent data stays on your server.
Cookie Signal Manager collects and stores the following data:
* Consent ID (unique identifier, encrypted)
* IP address (anonymized – last octet replaced with “X”, encrypted)
* User agent (encrypted)
* Consent decisions and timestamps
All personal data is anonymized according to the data minimization principle (GDPR Art. 5(1)(c)). Data is securely stored in the WordPress database with AES-256 encryption. Data is automatically deleted according to the configured retention period (default 730 days).
The plugin does not send any data to external servers. Google Tag Manager is only loaded when the user configures a GTM Container ID, and operates according to Google Consent Mode v2 principles (all consents denied by default).
