Does incognito mode hide my location?
No. A private window keeps the same internet connection, so a website can still estimate your city from your IP address, and it can still ask for your device location. Private browsing only stops your browser keeping the history, cookies and site data of that window after you close it.
What a private window changes
Incognito in Chrome, InPrivate in Edge and Private Browsing in Safari and Firefox start without your saved cookies and sign-ins and forget them when you close the window. That hides your visit from other people who use the same device. It doesn’t change what the sites you visit can see about your connection.
What still shows where you are
Your IP address belongs to your internet provider, mobile carrier or VPN, and location databases map it to an approximate city or region. Device location, which can be accurate to a few meters, is separate: a site gets it only if you allow it when the browser asks, in a private window as in a normal one.
What does move the estimate
A VPN, a different Wi‑Fi network or mobile data changes the connection a site sees, and with it the city from your IP address. None of them changes your device position if you allow location; the browser reports where the device is.

The IP location page here shows the estimate from your connection, and every tool asks before it uses device location. Comparing the two shows how far apart your connection and your device appear to be.
