NO! The Beta version does not scan for cookies.

Tracking cookies are usually NOT threats. It's completely
normal to have dozens of tracking cookies on your
computer. Most tracking cookies only tracks your surfing
habit at the specific websites.

I don't even bother to delete them since you will get them
in couple of days anyway. I know sites like yahoo.com all
place tracking cookies on your computer.
