jaikar Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hi !.. i am confused about how google stores the ratings for the anonymous users, i made a rating (gave 3 stars) for a google video in IE, then changed the IP address, reloaded the browser, still i saw 3 stars for that video. then thought they must have set cookies, so i went to that video from Mozilla, still i saw 3 stars for the video. how google identifies that the rating is done from my PC, i am really confused?. anyone have idea ? Thanks ! Jaikar Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/72614-confusion-about-google-rating-system/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaikar Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 yes, mine is the dynamic IP so i restarted my router and i got a new IP. its really confusing how the ratings remains even after the Ip is changed and tried in 2 different browsers Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/72614-confusion-about-google-rating-system/#findComment-366156 Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbrad0 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Since it is stored on your toolbar they can check the mac address of your computer which does not change.
