How to make my upvote/downvote button store cookies and count votes only 1 time
Take a look at this https://fiddle.jshell.net/tnvv0dds/4/ I made this upvote/downvote button for my website, but it resets every time I refresh the website + it counts votes every time I click on it. I have no idea how to fix it since I am a bit new. Can someone make a javascript suggestion for me or give me a website link where I can learn it? I spent 3-4 days in searching it without success.

You can learn HTML5 Web Storage, and use them with the following code.
$(document).ready(function() {
if(localStorage.getItem("count") == null)
$("#count").text(0);
else
$("#count").text(localStorage.getItem("count"));
});
var counter = 0;
$("#plus").click(function(){
counter++;
$("#count").text(counter);
localStorage.setItem("count", counter);
});
$("#minus").click(function(){
counter--;
$("#count").text(counter);
localStorage.setItem("count", counter);
});
