<p>Websites may want to obtain more detailed information about the user&apos;s
location, e.g., to offer specific services close to the current position. For
that purpose, they can request the longitude and latitude (along with other
information like altitude and heading, as available) from a browser.
&brandShortName; will never provide that information without the user&apos;s
consent. However, a notification is displayed for a page that requests the
location at least the first time that this site is visited. The preferences
located in the center section of the <a href="#privacy_and_security">Privacy
&amp; Security panel</a> allow you to disable this feature entirely:</p>

<li><strong>Prompt me for permission if a request is made</strong>: Select
this if you want &brandShortName; to prompt you if the website you are
visiting is requesting geolocation information. The notification provides
the following options:
<ul>
<li><strong>Share location</strong>: Select this option if you want the
current location to be determined and forwarded to the requesting site,
for <em>this</em> request only.</li>
<li><strong>Not for this request</strong>: Select this option if you do
<em>not</em> want the current location to be determined and forwarded
to the requesting site, prompt again for the next request.</li>
<li><strong>Always for this site</strong>: Select this option if you
want the current location to be determined and forwarded to the
requesting site, also for all <em>future</em> requests.</li>
<li><strong>Never for this site</strong>: Select this option if you do
<em>not</em> want the current location to be determined and forwarded
to the requesting site, also for all <em>future</em> requests.</li>

Closing or dismissing the notification will not give any response to the
requesting page at all.</li>

option for not being prompted for geolocation requests. &brandShortName;

<ul>
<li>Geolocation is a third-party web-based service. &brandShortName; collects
certain information about your internet access (e.g., wireless access
points) and sends those to this service.</li>
<li>The accuracy of the response varies and may range from city level to
within a few meters of your actual location.</li>
<li>No information about the requesting site itself is provided to the
geolocation service. The information returned by that service is provided
to the website by &brandShortName; in response to its request.</li>
<li>The requesting site receives an identification token that allows it to
track your movement for a limited time using the geolocation service.</li>
