The website will know where you are from based on your IP adress, unless you use a VPN. Only reason they want to "know your location" is to gain access to your GPS in the device if available, to get precise coordinate information.
That then can be used for benign purposes in case of a well secured E-shop or dangerous purposes if the website is sussy
I know, I just think it's silly XD
