Cookies or other?

I have this thing I am working on just for fun but at the same time
I want to prevent someone from just clicking all day...

the only ones who can access it are members so what is the best way
to control the # of clicks they can make per day?

I thought maybe cookies but then again I can maybe use a script
in conjuction with their member id...

I want to limit them to only maybe 10 clicks a day on the imagemap.

Cookies, being client-side, can be altered. Number of clicks should be an
attribute in the database related to the members table.

(Not that this stops people creating multiple users, but it makes the number
of clicks associated with the user out of their reach).
