No, not that kind, GIMP the photo editing software.

Just wondering if anyone uses it and knows how i can save my cut outs. ?

I'm probably doing it all wrong as in - trace out the outline > Right click > select from path > then i hit control and X to save the cut out to the panel on the right where i can select and drop it onto another image.

Up to there i'm fine, but if i do another cut out and save it the same way, it replaces the other one, but i want to play around with both, or more cut outs.

Also, if i close the programme my cut outs are deleted, is there any way i can save them. ?

Put the cutout on the system Clipboard instead (ctrl + c) not the panel in Gimp, make a new document with a transparent background. It will automatically have the same pixel dimensions and dpi as your cutout. Press ctrl + v keys to paste it. Save that anywhere you like.

When you want to reuse it, ctrl + A to select, ctrl + C to copy to clipboard, highlight the destination document's window and ctrl + V to paste.

In Photoshop, you can go to Selection > Save Selection and your cutout info is saved in the original document. Maybe Gimp has something similar?
