      @nushie You need to contact those sites and tell then that they are guessing your location wrongly.

        Default VPN enabled?

          No help. And this doesn't happen when I open the same site on Foxfire.

              Yes yes. I have VPN enabled. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. No luck.

                @nushie A VPN works by routing your traffic through the VPN's server and emerging with the VPN's IP address instead of yours. If the website checks for location using an IP index, it will cross-index to the VPN's location, not yours. Try it without the VPN and see if the site identifies your location correctly.

                    Just disable it and check again.

                      @leocg I have the same issue to a point: Outlook for the Web has ads on the right, and it's the only site that's wrong -- my main email is English, but the ads were showing Swedish. I did go into my Microsoft profile and change my language from default to English, but I've not had to do that before and I've been doing this for longer than I care to remember. Also, Safari and Firefox were okay. No VPN. IP okay.

                        If you use the Opera VPN and stores cookies, they points to the language related to the selected VPN Continent.

                        Clean cookies and access it without the VPN enabled.

                            Maps locates you on the right place?

                              @zalex108 (Is that to me, TLMurray?) If it is, if I clicked a Swedish ad and then used Google Maps -- I didn't try the Mac app -- it was a map of Sweden. Leaving Opera and using Google's Maps was correct.

                                Then,
                                Is the Opera VPN icon Blue?
                                Do you have any other VPN extension?

                                    Try enabling the Opera VPN and switching it.

                                    It should change your location.
                                    Then disable it and check again.

                                        @leocg thanks for all of the advice. I give up. Shouldn't be this difficult.
