Does Sophia track what sites you've visited?

Interesting question... Sophia.org doesn't track the sites you have visited, they basically use Biometric/IP logging for their own purposes of non invasive proctoring... Having said that... Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) will have access to sites you've visited for their own reference and tracking purposes, even if you clear your cookies, history, or gone into InCognito or InPrivate modes on Chrome and Edge...  

Sophia.org will know what you're doing when connected to their site, the ISP will know what sites you've visited. References where I mentioned Sophia.org using Biometric/IP logging: My post #1: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid405060  post #2: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid401602  post #3: https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...#pid357219

Isn't that what cookies do? Track your searches and sites visited? Where do those come in?

A site can only access the cookies set by that site. The big ad providers like Google, Facebook etc... can track you over multiple sites because they are embedded in so many sites (either for ads or for metrics), so they can access the same cookies as you load each site. A company like Sophia would have to contract with one of them to get info about their customers visiting other sites.
