I'm not super tech-savvy, but I need some advice. For my retail job, we're required to collect a certain number of surveys each week. The catch is that the survey system seems to track my device, allowing only one response per month per device. I have an iPhone and a laptop. Is there any way to avoid this device tracking so I can complete more surveys?

It sounds like the survey could be tracking your IP address, which is common for online surveys. All internet-connected devices have an IP, and if your iPhone and laptop are on the same network, they'll show the same IP to the survey. To get around this, you could try using devices that aren't on your home network, like a friend's phone or a public Wi-Fi network.
Can you clarify what you mean by 'surveys'? Are you supposed to fill them out yourself, or are you collecting them from customers? It sounds like you’re looking for a way to boost numbers, and that could be problematic.
Consider using an Android emulator like NoxPlayer or setting up a virtual machine. These can help you create a new environment to take the surveys as if you’re on a different device.
You might be dealing with cookies, which are small files stored on your device that keep track of your survey activity. If you try taking the survey in a private browsing session, I bet you'll be able to do it again since private mode doesn’t save cookies like regular browsing does.
Yes, we need customers to fill out the surveys. Corporate monitors how many we collect weekly.
