 * Please explain the pros & cons of the vote blocking options. I have set up to
   block by cookies so that people could vote with the reset at midnight. What is
   the downside to using cookies?
 * Thanks,
    Craig

 * Hi Craig,
 * When you block by cookie a more experienced user can delete the cookies and vote
   again. That’s because cookies are stored locally in the browser.
 * We will soon launch a new version of our plugin that will feature supercookies,
   which are more difficult to delete.
 * Regards,
 * YOP Team
