    Surveymonkey - I was showing someone a survey on chrome browser on android and it said I had already done the survey when I visited the link.

    I've cleared history many times since I did the survey so how does it know I did it? I read the default is once per browser so what is stored to allow this check?

    If you go incognito you will avoid this

    Browser history has nothing to do with it. Delete all cookies and clear the cache.

    Sorry that's what I meant. On android deleting browser history includes cookies etc

    Solved it. Clear browser/cookies etc was set to last hour rather than "all time "!
