Does google bot ignore load balancer sticky cookie?

I have setup a load balancer on AWS and have 'Enabled Application Generated Cookie Stickiness' (As you can login to parts of the site.)

I need to know if google bot will ignore this cookie, or will it be stuck on one server.

From "Google-friendly sites":

If features such as JavaScript, cookies, session IDs, frames, DHTML, or Macromedia Flash keep you from seeing your entire site in a text browser, then spiders may have trouble crawling it.

The consensus on the Web is that the GoogleBot does not handle cookies.

I also have a hard time understanding why such web crawlers would want to handle cookies.
