Prevent users from re-clicking "Like" button on page refresh

I want to stop a user from clicking a Like button multiple times. I can disable the button on the first click using jQuery, but when the page is refreshed, the user can again click the button. How do I prevent a user from re-clicking the button on page refresh?

You should check it in Server side. use can use $_SESSION for this purpose. When user click on link set 

$_SESSION['liked']=true;

and then check if user clicked before. Session won't be destroyed in when page refreshed.

you can store the user id in database who have already liked and disable the like button/link for them so they once click on the button or link never click again
