If I open a URL in a new Chrome incognito window, will it act as if I cleared browser cache, cookies etc?

Question

I have good reasons for not clearing my cookies at the moment. Support staff for a problem site want me to clear browser cache and cookies.

If not, is there another way to test this situation?

Using Incognito mode, You don't leave browsing history and cookies on your computer, but you can still see your existing history, bookmarks, passwords, Autofill data, and other Chrome settings.

so open your URL in a incognito window which is act as if you have already cleared your browser cache, cookies etc.

You could always just add a user to your chrome install. You would have a fresh chrome to work with and you would not affect your current install. This only takes 20 seconds in the chrome settings under People.
