Vote Anonymous

The Vote Anonymous module enables anonymous users to vote on nodes using cookie-based tracking, with no login required.

Use Case

Ideal for blog posts, community polls, or any content where you want quick anonymous engagement without a complex rating UI:

• No third-party dependencies - installs and works out of the box
• Anonymous-first - cookie-based voting without requiring users to log in
• Easy to implement on both node listing and node detail pages
• Configurable at global level or per individual node

How It Works

Voting is controlled by browser cookies. If a cookie already exists for a visitor, the module displays a configurable message such as "You have already submitted!" and optionally disables the voting link.

• Global voting — uncheck "Single Node Voting". A user cannot vote on any node once they have voted on any single node of the selected content type.
• Per-node voting — check "Single Node Voting". A user can vote independently on each node.

Installation

Vote Anonymous is compatible with Drupal 10,11 and 12.
