Geolocation information collected with jExperience

Question

What location related information is collected with jExperience, and what is persisted?

Answer

By default, for both anonymous and logged-in users, the users' geolocation is taken for personalization, but is not stored as a property on the visitor profile.

For example, to display the weather, a logged-in user's current location would be used, but not saved to his profile. Next time the user visits, the geolocation is resolved again.
