Before you take any survey…enable cookies!

How the survey companies protect themselves from fake survey takers. Fake survey taker is an individual who seeks to take the same survey more then once and get paid. The survey company website plants a small piece of code into your web-browser (Like Internet Explore or FireFox) called “Cookie”, and as long as this cookie is stored there you will be unable to take the same survey again. On the other hand, if you prefer to protect your privacy and stay away from Internet viruses you can choose to disable the cookies and none of them will be stored on your browser. However, survey companies does not allow surfers with their cookies disabled, to take their surveys or be credited. So, if your cookies are disabled and you took a survey and did not receive your credit, this is the reason.
All cookies usually expire (delete themselves) after 30 days so your web-browser won’t be exploded with them.
