  Although the cookies is not set with secure flag, there is no
  security exposure since it doesn't contains any confidential
  information.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

  current page when logging in as part of the subscription wizard
  did not have the secure flag set.
  

Problem conclusion

• The cookie used to redirect anonymous users back to where they
  were when logging in as part of the subscription wizard in the
  developer portal did not contain any confidential information,
  purely a page reference, but it did not have the secure flag
  set. That has now been fixed and it is now both Secure and
  httpOnly.
