It doesn't - except if explicitly configured to.

I just did a search on github for that path and found
https://github.com/KDE/kinit/blob/c9688c804d0d76f06062d2b8ab6bd06877510ea0/src/kdeinit/kinit.cpp#L1470

Which seems to be a bad workaround for a bug...

kinit (kdeinit5 actually) is the program which spawns various daemons like
kded5 and klauncher.

The comment in the code seems to be wrong, as as long as the X server is
running, there can't be any outdated cookies AFAICT.
