Hey @Sradha,

You can use the below code:-

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\\Users\\Nabarupa_Das\\Downloads\\chromedriver.exe");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--incognito");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
WebDriver driver=new ChromeDriver(capabilities);

Hope this helps.

Also you can try using something like this: 

1. Check if Allow in incognito is switched On for JetBrains IDE Support extension (chrome://extensions/)
2. open WebStorm preferences -> Tools -> Web browsers -> Chrome -> Edit -> Command line options: -incognito
