Generally, no. A 403 Forbidden error is a server-side issue. Changing your browser settings (like cookies or cache) is unlikely to fix it. The problem usually lies with the server's configuration or permissions. However, clearing your browser cache can help if there's a corrupted cached version of the page leading to misinterpretation.
