Drupal 6 sets a cookie to track sessions for anonymous visitors and users that log in, see: Drupal 6 - session.inc

You can view the source code and comments at the bottom of the above link as to what's being stored and read.

You could add a statement to your privacy policy regarding this, but most sites just use blanket statements to describe how they handle privacy in general terms since most users don't notice things like cookies being set.

If it's a significant concern however and you want to disable cookies for anonymous visitors, see this: DRUPAL FOR PRIVACY BUFFS: CONFIGURING YOUR DRUPAL 6 SITE TO WORK WITHOUT COOKIES FOR ANONYMOUS

Note that this may impact your site's functionality for anonymous visitors, so you should test this prior to going live.
