Q: geo-location inop in Sierra and OS X Safari

I just installed Sierra on my iMac and iOS 10 on my iPhone (see specs below).

Certain apps, like Maps, seem to work with geo-location.

But some websites on Safari just will not cooperate. I get the

following response:

Can't find location - error: Position is unavailable.

I "gave permission" to these sites to use my location,

but they refuse.

 

Any ideas?

    Thanks, Ralph. This cracks me up:

    " interpreted as evidence that we are not completely stupid."

    I thought it was just me!

    So, I will notify websites of this new practice and, in the meantime,

    use Firefox to access geo-location sites that won't work on Safari.

    (Ralph, how do I give you the points? I'm new to Apple discussions

    and have accidently given myself the points.)
