I understand that this kind of identification cannot be 100% accurate, but example usage would be internet poll, to detect users that have already voted. Is user detection possible with browser sent details? And what kind of information I can get from browser with every request? If I add IP address or location for example town to this, then identification would be more accurate. Are there any possible downsides I should know about?
