I've never used them myself, but the manpage had this to say (v 1.7):
--cookies=on/off
When set to off, disable the use of cookies. Cookies
are a mechanism for maintaining server-side state.
The server sends the client a cookie using the
`Set-Cookie' header, and the client responds with the
same cookie upon further requests. Since cookies
allow the server owners to keep track of visitors and
for sites to exchange this information, some consider
them a breach of privacy. The default is to use cook�
ies; however, storing cookies is not on by default.
--load-cookies file
Load cookies from file before the first HTTP
retrieval. The format of file is one used by Netscape
and Mozilla, at least their Unix version.
--save-cookies file
Save cookies from file at the end of session. Cookies
whose expiry time is not specified, or those that have
already expired, are not saved.
So it sounds like yes, it does . . .
