Hello Guys, I want to know if there is any way to track the geo location of a user without alerting them. I understand this is a breach of privacy and stuff, trust me I'm not trying to pull something Illegal. I saw online that we can use the geolocation api but it alerts the user or requires the user to allow the location. Please help me out if you guys know about it.

Please do not try to compromise users privacy without their consent. I will make an innocent guess that you are trying to do something like YouTube, where their logo has an additional 'span' which is basically your country's code...
NL - netherlands
UK - United Kingdoms
etc.
They don't notify you about this, right? No, if you don't mind reading user agreement it is well stated, and you have to agree to share this along with many more private data for the "better user experience".

It is illegal to gather any information about the user without their consent aka agreement.
