If pickles are cooked in a pot made of aluminum, the high acidity of the vinegar can react with the metal and leach aluminum into the food. Ingesting excessive amounts of aluminum may potentially be harmful to health, but the occasional consumption of pickles cooked in aluminum is unlikely to cause immediate harm. It's recommended to cook pickles in non-reactive cookware like stainless steel or glass to avoid any potential risks.
How does using aluminum cookware affect your health?
It has not been shown that the minute amount of aluminum which can enter food via cookware is clinically significant, with the exception of cooking acidic foods (like tomato sauces, balsamic vinegar) in them. Most aluminum in the body comes from baked goods (bread, doughnuts, cakes) due to the use of baking powder which includes aluminum diphosphate. If you're still hesitant, a better choice may be the use of stainless steel cookware.

What is non-reactive?
The "nonreactive cookware" is cookware that does not react with acidic foods. Acidic foods such as tomatoes or wine can react with uncoated cookware made of copper, aluminum, or cast iron. For example, if you put a tomato sauce in an aluminum pot the color of the sauce can change and the sauce will have a slightly metallic taste. When you are cooking with acidic foods you should use pans that are stainless steel, hard anodized aluminum, glass, or that have a coating of tin or enamel. The sale of unlined copper cookware is illegal in many countries, because -- although trace amounts of copper are necessary for good health -- highly acidic foods can dissolve toxic amounts of copper.
