After traveling to the UK, back in the US my iPad keeps wanting to connect to UK sites

We recently traveled from the US to the UK for a couple of weeks. Both my wife and I used our iPads extensively while traveling, both using local wi-if and using our phones for connectivity (we had ATT International Day Pass for this; worked smoothly).

Since returning, we’re both finding that Safari will seem to prefer connecting to the UK version of a site, for example amazon.co.uk or google.co.uk or such. I’ve checked time zones, location parameters, no luck.

Anyone have any ideas about this?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Safari is remembering your most recent site selections. If you "Clear the history and cookies from Safari on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, the annoyance will probably disappear.

Yep, thought about that. But it’s even new sites we never hit while in the UK. For example, after returning, I checked out Nespresso systems. Even after I first connected to Nespresso.com a few times, on subsequent times I found myself connected to Nespresso.co.uk. Other sites as well.

Have you restarted your devices?

Another consideration would be to:

Reset your Network Settings

Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you've used before.
