How saving settings does work for non-logged in users?

When user isn’t logged in and saves either cookie consent or services settings it is stored for current browser session. Information is stored for 30 days by default(you can adjust this period in admin settings). After this period user will be asked to accept consent again and setup his preferences. If user logs-in, this information will be stored in his profile.

What data will be deleted from DB during “forget” process?

All general personal data from “wp_users” and “wp_users_meta” tables, except user ID (record should keep since we don’t want to broke entire site functionality). Login and email will be renamed.
