I was under the impression that Chrome in Incognito Mode wouldn't accept or send cookies, since they could be used to identify you. When starting up Incognito Mode, I do have to re-log-in to gmail, etc. But the log-in stays active during the session.
So it seems to me that Incognito Mode maintains a separate, temporary store of cookies which get destroyed when you exit incognito mode. Does this mean that, if you browse in Incognito Mode all the time, it would have no benefit? Does Incognito Mode do anything else?

Using incognito mode is a good way to prevent your cookies and browsing history from being saved after your session, but that doesn't mean your activity is completely invisible.
Can a Wi-Fi provider see what sites I visit when I am in Incognito mode? Yes, they can. Unfortunately, Incognito mode doesn't hide your activity from your Wi-Fi provider. All it does is stop browsers and sites from storing cookies during that session.
Incognito mode doesn't prevent web tracking Incognito mode does not mean you're browsing anonymously. Personal information like your device's IP address and what you're doing on a website (especially while logged in) is visible to others around the web who might be tracking you online.
You can switch between Incognito tabs and regular Chrome tabs. You'll only browse in private when you're using an Incognito tab. You can also choose to block third-party cookies when you open a new incognito window.
It essentially sets the cache path to a temporary folder. Cookies are still used, but everything starts "fresh" when the incognito window is launched. This applies all storage, including Cookies, Local Storage, Web SQL, IndexedDB, cache, etc.
Of course Chrome also leaves pages out of the browser's history.
