Comment on Why do websites now prefer IP-based geolocation rather than the `Accept-Language` HTTP header?

I’m in England and my language is set to English, yet for some reason when I was browsing AliExpress a few weeks ago it was stuck in German and I couldn’t see how to change it. Go to the homepage - German. Click on a result from a search engine - German.
I don’t know where it got that from, it wasn’t the IP either as from a computer on the same address it was fine.

AliExpress in particular is terrible with however they’re going about language selection. I have had this happen countless times and I don’t even travel or use a VPN. Like it’s based on a merchant you viewed or some other nonsense.
