A data layer is a JavaScript object that is used to pass information from your website to your Tag manager container.
You can then use that information to populate variables and activate triggers in your tag configurations.
Developers should read the developer documentation for more information.

A third way to find your data layer information is using the console tab in developer tools.
Simply type “dataLayer” into the console, and voila, there’s your data layer. Click the down arrow next to the data layer array, and you can see the different objects inside.
