I have 'do not track selected' and I checked the location permissions in my privacy settings and no website is listed as having access to my location but Google is still displaying my location at the bottom of the page when I log in to Google

Thanks!

A website can do a reverse DNS look up of your IP address to get your location, so there is o need to use geo location in this case.

Could you remove those links please?

Thank you
