What is my location?
Find your precise location using your browser's Geolocation API, only after you allow it. Coordinates stay on your device.
Your browser will ask before sharing anything. Nothing is uploaded.
Your precise location can be shown above, but only after you grant permission. Unlike the IP-based estimate, this uses your browser's Geolocation API, which combines GPS, nearby Wi-Fi networks and cell towers to fix your position, often to within a few metres. Your browser will ask before sharing anything.
Nothing here is sent to a server. When you allow it, your device computes the coordinates and this page displays them to you locally. If you deny permission, or if you never press the button, no location is read at all. That is the whole point of the permission prompt.
This is the same mechanism that lets a maps site centre on you or a store finder show what is nearby. It is powerful, which is exactly why it is gated behind explicit, revocable consent.
What you should know
Why sites collect it
Legitimate uses include maps and directions, finding nearby shops or services, local weather, tagging photos, and regional compliance. A site should only request it when there is a clear, visible reason, and only after you act.
Privacy implications
Precise location is among the most sensitive data your browser can share, since it can reveal your home, workplace and routines. Because it requires a permission prompt, you stay in control: no site gets it silently, and you can revoke access at any time. Treat any site that demands it without cause with suspicion.
How to change or hide it
Grant or deny per site in the address-bar permission prompt, and revoke access anytime in your browser's site settings. You can disable location globally, and mobile operating systems add their own location switch. Denying it here simply means we show nothing.
Frequently asked questions
Do you store my location?
No. When you allow it, your browser computes the coordinates and this page shows them to you locally. Nothing is uploaded or saved.
Why is the permission prompt needed?
Precise location is sensitive, so browsers require your explicit consent before any site can read it. You can deny it and still read the rest of this page.
How is this different from my IP location?
IP location is a silent, rough estimate from your address; the Geolocation API is precise but requires your permission and uses GPS and nearby signals.
