Q: Average amount cookies for 10.6.8
How much average cookies do you pick up on Snow leopard? I have between 60-170 if I don't clear them. I have JavaScript turned off and block all cookies on.
I know Safari 5.1.1 hasn been patched for years.
iMac (20-inch Early 2009), Mac OS X (10.6.8), None

Snow Leopard gives you exactly zero cookies. They are just not relevant for the OS.
Instead, cookies are related to web sites that you visit, and completely devoid of OS version. Visiting the same set of web sites (with similar browser settings to accept and/or deny cookies) will give you the same number of cookies whether you're on Snow Leopard, El Capitan, Windows, Linux, or any other OS yu care to run.
What's your concern with the number of cookies in your browser?
(just as a point of reference, Safari tells me I have cookies from 5,173 sites, and I don't care one iota)
