Does Limesurvey necessarily use cookies? Well, my question is because I want to create surveys in such a way that no cookies are stored on respondent's browser side.
I would not mind at all submission of several responses by one respondent, for example. The main issue is that I would not want to ask the respondent a question about cookies, if that is possible.
Not very helpful as there are currently 3 different branches of LS CE and each branch has a "latest". And today's latest might not be "latest" tomorrow.
So to your question: From what I understand, Limesurvey has 3 types of cookies, fo which 2 are default (and as far as I understand necessary for it to work). And then there is a third one that you can switch on and off on a per survey basis from within the GUI.
I don't think that LS would work without the session cookies though.
Correct, the session cookie is needed to connect the browser with the session file on the server. Any other way would be less secure (e.g. attaching a sessionid to the URL, which would expose the session via logfile and referrers).
