I have several websites that will not remember my location. Grocery stores, for example.

I go there, and instead of seeing my local store ads, they show their info from there corporate location, in another state.

I've reported it to them, but it never gets fixed, even tho they know that some people don't recognize that, and make a shopping list, only to realize when they go to the store, the ad for their local store is completely different.

My theory is that, for whatever purpose, they want you to login, which is the only way to change location.

I have "remember my location' enabled

Is there is something else I can do?

All the cookie workarounds did not fix it.
