What can a user do to prevent the browser from storing cookies?

Using private browsing mode is the correct choice because it is specifically designed to prevent the browser from saving certain data, including cookies, history, and cached files. When a user engages in private browsing, the session operates independently of the regular browsing session, which means that once the private window is closed, the browser does not retain any information from that session. Consequently, cookies created during that time are deleted, which helps in maintaining user privacy.

The other options do not directly prevent cookie storage. Clearing the cache daily may remove stored cookies after they've been created but does not stop them from being stored during a browsing session. Setting a strong password enhances account security but does not affect cookie management. Disabling internet access would prevent all online activity and thus would not allow cookies to be created, but it is an impractical method for those looking to browse the web while still retaining some level of privacy.
