I understand that Chrome incognito mode will not preserve cookies or any data for that browsing session, however, should it have access to cookies etc from the normal Chrome session going on during the same time.
The reason I ask this is because one of the tests I am doing needs a brand new browser with no other info. Pretty much like a new machine and first run of the browser. Wondering if Chrome incognito would simulate that instead of cleaning up everything from settings every time I want to run that test.

I can confirm that Incognito Mode does not have access to cookies, auto-fill form data, or WebSQL databases from normal mode. (At least, it does not carry over my GMail session, nor does it auto-fill my email or password into the login form).
As a web developer, Incognito mode is a great way to get an empty browser which provides a clean slate for testing a web page.
