Maybe it was changed quickly, but I can't find anywhere that is says "No tracking". It specifically says "We don't track you around the internet." and "doesn't track you across sites" in the terms and about pages.

Also, you kind of have to "track" users to some extent for a site like this - otherwise it would be simply for someone to stuff votes.

The Plausible does count raw statistics without "tracking" specific users. That is just used for general website analytics. The first-party functional cookie that I am using (very similar to the auth login cookie) is used to prevent duplicate anonymous votes. Neither of these track the user and both are for on-site only. The functional cookie works much better than the fingerprint (actually less invasive too), but isn't full proof. You can switch browsers, go to incognito mode in some browsers, etc.. to bypass it, but it works for most casual users. Since it isn't election level polling, I figured it is fine. I do have an in memory rate limit to prevent excessive voting spam.

Are you rate limiting at the subnet/prefix level for IPv6?

On the landing page, right underneath the "disagree" button it says "no tracking"
