Instead, you\u2019ll see an empty window reading \u201cNo Configured Websites\u201d if you have no tabs open. If you have tabs open, you\u2019ll see the setting for each of these.<\/p>\n<p>You have three options for location access for each website: Ask, Allow, and Deny. The \u201cAsk\u201d option will always ask you before accessing your location data, while the other two options will always allow or deny location data for a given website.<\/p>\n<p>To set this for a website, simply open the website you want to configure, then open Safari preferences. Go to the Websites tab, select \u201cLocation\u201d from the menu on the left, and you\u2019ll see the website under the \u201cCurrently Open Websites\u201d menu heading. Here, set the website permission to whichever option you prefer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-783882\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/check-websites-access-safari-location-macos-set-allow.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Allowing Location access for a website in macOS Safari\" width=\"700\" height=\"350\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Once you configure a website, this will always show in the \u201cLocation\u201d section of the \u201cWebsites\u201d tab, even if it isn\u2019t open.

This won\u2019t affect apps though, so if you have the Google Maps app installed, that will continue to function normally.<\/p>\n<p>Open the Settings app, then scroll down to Privacy, then here, select Location Services.
