Making POST request in Tampermonkey to Google Apps Script

I am using Tampermonkey to monitor a webpage for certain changes, which I am trying to record in a Google Sheet. To do this, I have a Google Apps Script, and I want to make POST requests to the Apps Script.

A snippet of my code in Tampermonkey is shown below:

  var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xhr.open("POST", "https://script.google.com/macros/s/~~scriptId~~/exec", true);
  xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
  xhr.send(data);

However, I am getting an error that says Access to XMLHttpRequest has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource, and a net::ERR_FAILED 404 as well.

I know that data is correct, since it has been logged to the console. I have also deployed the Apps Script as a Web app, and setting it to execute as Me and for Anyone to have access.

I do not have much experience with JavaScript, so any help would be appreciated. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Edit: I resolved it by changing the code to

  var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xhr.open("GET", "https://script.google.com/macros/s/~~scriptId~~/exec?"+data, true);
  xhr.send();

For documentation, here another solution for this case (tested in Chrome only)

Script in Tampermonkey:

// @grant        GM.xmlHttpRequest

function test() {
    var obj = {};
    obj.param_0 = "abc";
    obj.param_1 = "xyz";

    sending_xml(obj);
}

function sending_xml(obj) {
    console.log("SENDING DATA");

    GM.xmlHttpRequest ({
        method:     "POST",
        url:        "https://script.google.com/macros/s/[DEPLOYMENT_ID]/exec",
        data:       JSON.stringify(obj),
        headers:    {
            "Content-Type": "application/json"
        },
        onload:     function (response) {
            console.log(response); //display "ok"
        }
    });
}

Code.gs

function doPost(e) {

    var string = e.postData.getDataAsString();
    var data = JSON.parse(string);

    Logger.log(data);
    //do stuff;

    return "ok";
}

//must be deployed as WebApp, with "Access to All"
