When you open any website this information is sent to the server by default, we're not doing anything special.
If you're concerned for your privacy in general you should use a vpn or just don't use a browser at all
Nostr clients are using your IP geolocation and/or checking your browser language – to automaticly show notes from other users who also share the same country as you.
This leaks information about the user location/country, and is major concern for privacy reasons.
Not sure if every client is doing this, #Snort #Iris are clearly doing it, especially noticeable when not logged in. When logged in there is no option to disable this behavoiour and seems to be enabled by default.

Thanks for replying. The server having this information isn't the problem. VPN might not do the trick, I did some tests and think it depends only on the language set in the browser.
I guess users who care about this particular issue should just avoid having the browser language set to anything else besides the default English.
