Yes. Plain vanilla Mozilla does too.

It does have a builtin one.
I also like to use an addon called cookiebar (http://cookiebar.mozdev.org/)
which shows the cookies in the sidebar.

The cookie bar looks good. It would be nice to ba able to flush out
the web beacons with a software add-on.

Thanks. My regular email account gets no spam and is text only.

What I think would be cool is something that shows clear GIFs in the
browser to see which sites are trying to track surfers.

Using the Mozilla privacy feature that kills images from outside
domains probably kills web bugs.

Web Washer will kill them and you can set it up to alert you by
substituting your own gif - but that prevents most web sites from
loading.

I use Privoxy for this. Proxomitron, which is windows only and is the more
popular cousin of Privoxy, does this too.
