I have a phone with a Spanish Sim, but when I’m abroad, I still get websites redirect me to the Spanish version, when I’d prefer to see the local one. This happens even when I’m on WiFi, but I’m guessing it’s something to do with my Sim?

Does anyone know how they do this, and if there is a way of overriding it?

What browser are you using? What do you do to stay private?

Probably you have cookies set ragarding your language preferences for the sites you browse on a regular basis, at least.
