Yes, clearing your browser's cache and cookies can often resolve 403 errors. Corrupted or outdated cached data can sometimes interfere with the server's authorization process. Deleting these files forces your browser to fetch fresh data from the server, which might resolve permission issues. Be aware this will log you out of other websites.
