Hello, and welcome to VisiHow. In this video, we are going to show you how to edit the websites that can access your location in Google Chrome on an HTC One M8.
Steps
- 1To begin, turn the phone on by pressing the Power button, located on top of the phone. Once the phone has been activated, we'll see the lock screen.

Advertisement - 3It is one of these icons that we now need, to open up the applications folder. To do that, we need this icon at the bottom of the home screen, in the middle. It looks like a grid, made up of white dots. Press down on this icon to open up our applications folder.
- 4In this folder, we need to find the Google Chrome application. Mine is located here. We can see the Google Chrome icon, which is a circle made up of different colors. Underneath, it says the word "Chrome". Our Google Chrome application may be in different positions in this folder. Therefore, we will need to find it. Once we've done that, press down on it, to enter the application.
- 5Once the application has loaded, we need this icon, in the top right-hand corner of the screen. It looks like three small black dots in a vertical line. Press down on this icon, and it will open up a menu.
- 6If we scroll down, we are looking for this option here, that says the word "Settings". Press down on the word to open our "Settings" menu.
- 7Scroll down again. Close to the bottom is "Site settings", which is the option we need. Press down on this section. It will bring us to the "Site settings" menu.
- 8We are looking for the option called "Location". Next to it, is the icon of a map pin. Press down on this section and we will enter the "Location" area.
- 9In this area, we want to look underneath "Allowed". Here, there is only one website. These are the websites that are allowed to access our location. Our list is very small, but I imagine that others may have a longer list. All of these web sites are allowed access to our location. They may need it to help provide us with a service. Now, we can edit these. We can remove certain websites if we no longer want them to have access to our location.
- 10We can remove individual websites. To do that, press down on the website. It will bring up a new page of options.
- 11It has the site name at the top, and an option at the bottom called "CLEAR & RESET". We can clear and reset this option. Let's press down on the blue box that says "CLEAR & RESET". It will give us a warning: "Are you sure that you want to clear all local data, including cookies and reset all permissions for this website?"
- 12If we want to continue, press "CLEAR & RESET". That website has now been removed from this list. This is how we can edit and customize this list of websites that have access to our location.
- 13This then, concludes our tutorial on how to edit the websites that can access our location in Google Chrome on an HTC One M8.
