<p>Websites may want to obtain more detailed information about the user'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'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

the following options:
