location permissions

Location permissions in Windows and Microsoft Edge control how websites access your precise geographic data. Edge always prompts before sharing exact location, but sites can estimate an imprecise location via IP address without permission. This behavior depends on Windows location services and account-linked cloud activity settings. Discussions cover the distinction between precise and IP-based location, configuration of Edge privacy settings, and how Windows location services interact with browser prompts. Users troubleshooting location permission issues or seeking to understand Edge's location privacy model will find practical explanations and configuration guidance.
