Intermittent Authentication Error: 403 Forbidden


Some days back I have faced an Intermittent Authentication Error issue.
Issue:
Several users received a 403 Forbidden error when they try accessing the SharePoint site.  If they clear all IE cookies, they were able to log in one time but if they close and reopen the browser, they receive the 403 error again until they clear their IE cookies once more.  
After clearing the cookies, they were prompted for re authentication when attempting to open any MS Word documents as well and the document fails to open
Resolution:
Finally I have got below articles to get rid of this issue.
