You can set a cookie in a secure site and have it work in a non-secure site.
In your CFCOOKIE tag, you need to make sure you don't specify SECURE="TRUE"
or SECURE="YES". If the hostnames are the same for both sites, that should
be all you have to do. For example, if the URL for the secure site was
https://www.kennedy-center.org/ and the URL for the non-secure site was
http://www.kennedy-center.org/, that would work.
If the two sites have different host names, you'll have to add the DOMAIN
attribute to your CFCOOKIE tag:
<!--- in https://secure.kennedy-center.org/ --->
<cfcookie name="trackme" value="someval" domain=".kennedy-center.org">
That cookie would be available when the browser visits
www.kennedy-center.org.
