I just got SAS recently..Does anyone delete tracking cookies from that program?? Is it safe to delete tracking cookies on there? It shouldn't delete any important files or like when I'm on the internet browser, it shouldn't load things incorrectly?

Use CCleaner before running a scan.

sooflymami,
Here is SAS's take on cookies: Are cookies really spyware and are they dangerous? (http://www.superantispyware.com/supportfaqdisplay.html?faq=26) and a little more in-depth look on what a HTTP cookie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie) is all about. I use SAS and IE cookies are deleted using that program with no adverse effects.

I'd like to see that feature taken out of SAS, but you can at least turn it off in prefs.
I don't want to second guess Nick but its only there perhaps as some users like their antispyware to remove them.
To the OP, SAS will remove them just fine.

Tracking cookies can, at the very least, in a negative way impact your privacy.
Not all ... play by the rules, and are able to place tracking cookies on your computer even if you think you've blocked them.
