You will need to use more than cookies. You will have to have the users
authenticate themselves, so that you can identify them uniquely. Once
you have a way to uniquely identify each user, you can track in your
database who has already submitted a response.

Simply placing a cookie on their computer would be insufficient, since
the user could always delete the cookie and submit your survey again.
