This means it's possible for the cookie's contents to be obtained via non-HTTPS. Not a huge thing, since its use is somewhat limited in scope, and the "lastinstitution" data is not very sensitive, but it would be good to use it. While we're at it, we might also want to check on the (much more important) PHP session cookie. This can be set at the server level, but we could also check for it in PHP. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6821883/set-httponly-and-secure-on- phpsessid-cookie-in-php for details on that.
