Yes, any WordPress site does uses cookies. By default, WordPress uses cookies to verify who the user is, i.e. if the user is logged-in (registered user) or is a commenter on the site. (More Info.)
Plugins and theme’s may set cookies. For example, Cookies for Comments plugin uses cookies to prevent comment spam. Cookies have their own purpose.
Check your browser preferences (or in the dialog box when deleting history), you should see an option similar to “Manage Cookies”, which shows a list of cookies sent by your website.
BTW, WordPress does not use sessions.
