Comment on Why do websites now prefer IP-based geolocation rather than the `Accept-Language` HTTP header?
undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 6 days agoIs user consent needed for the Accept-Language header? That would be kind of insane. I realize that it could be considered identifiable but that still feels strange to me.
I’m thinking mostly of localization, primarily language.

Localizations are used to convert between different languages. Just having a country code inside a header doesn’t give enough context where you are. For example states/provinces and their respective cities. Most of that is easily collected from the GeoIP information to give you local results for your area.
