# How to Change Your Time Zone

Canonical page: https://docs.sealmetrics.com/platform/account-setup/how-to-change-timezone

The timezone determines how dates and times are calculated in your reports.

## Steps

1. In the left sidebar, expand **Site Config** and click **Settings** (`/settings/sites/{siteId}`).
2. Stay on the **General** tab and find the **Timezone** field.
3. Open the timezone selector and pick your timezone (you can search by name or country).
4. Click **Save Changes** to apply the change.

By default, new sites use **Europe/Madrid**. The timezone selector lets you search by timezone name or country to find the right one quickly.
