It's client-side JavaScript.

Because it's client-side JavaScript, it runs, well, on the client's
browser.  Note that the user may be prompted regarding whether they
want to permit the website to access location information, so this
information may not be available.  If the user permits and JS is
enabled, the client-side JS code can then make AJAX requests (or stash
it in a cookie that gets sent with future requests) to convey the
location information to the server where your Python code is running.
