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).

Great tool

First of all, the plugin works.

BUT...

Coding standards? Not existing.

Security? Who cares, we just save directly from $_POST without any sanitization.

Writing a 5* review for your own plugin? Yeah, absolutely what everyone should do... at least they don't hide it.

Extremely poorly written code
