<div dir="ltr"><div><div>The browser geolocation feature meant to provide sites access to an <span id="result_box" class="" lang="en"><span class="">accurate location data from a GPS receiver or other techniques. This feature is in use by Google Maps as well as some other sites, but require your permission before submitting your location data once or per-session. <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAPI/Using_geolocation">https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAPI/Using_geolocation</a><br>
<br></span></span></div><span id="result_box" class="" lang="en"><span class="">Sites can't ever access this data without your prior permission. Since this is probably not the case, I don't think the geolocation API was used. The site in question probably located you by the GeoIP feature, which doesn't provide accurate location but a country of origin or estimated region in the country. It is more difficult to fake GeoIP since it is based only by your IP address, but you can use a proxy or a VPN to remove your traces. <br>
<br></span></span></div><span id="result_box" class="" lang="en"><span class="">Given that said, sometimes it is easier to just change a preference on the site to provide you the site in another language (but still this won't remove any country restrictions for content).<br>
