It happens to me all the time too, it's fucking annoying as fucking fuck, it doesn't seem to be a solution


Drives me crazy as I travel a lot. Even if I‘m logged into Google and it’s been tracking me for years and it‘s still targeting me with obviously personalized ads but it will assume I’ve suddenly acquired temporary proficiency in French, German, Italian, Spanish, etc stubbornly ignoring the language I’ve used for my query or the only language I’ve ever - in all my interactions with Google over years - ever used. What the fuck would be so hard to just NOT use braindead geolocation (which doesn’t even work in countries like Switzerland) when you know for certain who I am. You track all this information about me and use it to generate ad revenue but refuse to use my language preference?
