Well folks, I looked in Safari -> Settings -> Notifications -> Websites and found the gear icon in the list of web addresses. You know the one: without a website or IP address next to it. The permissions were set for 'Allow'. Made me ill looking at it. I deleted the icon (website). Hopefully, that's now gone. If I see it again, I'll chase and post again. But I think it's done.

Peace.
