When I go to my AARP Account, I'm directed to this URL:

https://member.aarpmedicareplans.com/guest/login.html

After I log on I get this message:

The website “https://member.aarpmedicareplans.com” would like to use your current location.

Remember my decision for one day

Don't Allow Allow

And then I have to decide if I want to allow it, don't allow it or remember for one day.

Could there be a setting I'm missing? Maybe in security settings.

This only happening on this website.

Actually happens quite frequently when various sites wants to follow you. Up to you but personally I always click the never on the basis if they HAVE to ask it ain't good!

They want to know where you are so that they can send you ads for stuff in your general location. If you want ads for stuff in your general location, you can let them use your location. Otherwise, you'll get the ads anyway, but they'll be generic. I NEVER let anybody use my location if I can avoid it. None of their business...

+1 to that (Especially from organizations like AARP who have a million advertisers!)
