Where are these settings?

Look for timezone/id if you have in your settings. Based on your need Set it.

This may be a missing piece in MS documentation. Since CRM portals built on top of AdX Studio portals, this release notes can be helpful.

Under 7.0.0019 August 13, 2015, it says:

Date/Time format handling has been unified and improved.
Formats can now be specified as .NET custom DateTime format strings using Site Settings, which will be applied to a page's body tag:

• DateTime/DateFormat (default "M/d/yyyy")
• DateTime/TimeFormat (default "h:mm tt")
• DateTime/DateTimeFormat (no default)

Breaking Change: All data-format, data-dateformat, data-timeformat, and data-datetimeformat attributes currently in MomentJS format (if upgrading from 7.0.0008 or later) must be updated to instead use .NET custom DateTime format strings. Please note that .NET Standard DateTime format strings are not supported.

Using Site Settings.
