Incognito mode accepts cookies during a session and deletes them when the window closes.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that incognito mode accepts cookies during a session and deletes them when the window closes?

Unclear. The retrieved sources only partially cover the claim: MDN and Wikipedia indicate that incognito/private windows use a separate cookie store and that Chrome's Incognito mode blocks third-party cookies by default, and a cookie taxonomy distinguishes session from persistent cookies. None of the placed items states that incognito mode deletes cookies when the window closes, so the deletion half of the claim is not established.
