If I don't have an account on a particular StackExchange site and I attempt to up/down vote a question or answer I receive this message

Thanks for the feedback!

 

This site is free and open to everyone, but our registered users get extra privileges like posting, commenting, and voting.

and the vote apparently doesn't go through, which is fine.

Is anything done with these clicks that affects the site? That affects anything?

this isn't about [unregistered user accounts](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/68524/what-does-it-mean-when-someones-an-unregistered-user), it's about using the voting buttons while not logged into any account

What happens to up/down votes of unregistered userswhen not logged in?
