Understandably, Ebox website defaults to Quebec + Francais. When adjusting the setting to Ontario + English, closing the page, then immediately returning to the site i notice it defaults back to QU/FR. It doesn't seem to use a cookie to store user preferences.
I figure it might be wiser to auto default, in a best effort case, to the user's actual location because new visitors, say from Ontario and only speak English might get the wrong impression that Ebox does not service Ontario at all, that you guys only service Quebec residents.
Ebox already does a great job in mapping visitor IPs to their correct cities+province. So i was wondering, if maybe the website could take that into consideration when a visitor goes to the home page. Browser's already have a feature that can popup requesting if it can pass the geo location details to a requesting website. Alternatively, storing a cookie after a visitor changes the preference could solve the problem too. But it would depend on the user being aware that option exists (they have to know to look to the top-right) while deciphering the French text to know that is what it will do.
Just a thought.
