​
Fingerprinting

Anonymous voting uses multiple signals to identify unique visitors:
  • Client-provided fingerprint
  • IP address (hashed)
  • User agent
  • Request headers
IP addresses are hashed and never stored in plain text.

Vote Mapping

​
Rate Limiting

Anonymous votes have stricter rate limits than authenticated votes to prevent abuse.

​
Best Practices

Libraries like FingerprintJS provide consistent, reliable fingerprints.
Check the alreadyVoted field to inform users if they’ve already voted.
Authenticated votes are more trusted and less restricted.
