Um, HTTPS will save you.

I think the concern is that HTTPS is necessary, but not sufficient for security. If you use HTTPS on your site, but send cookies without the secure flag, then it is possible for someone to trick the user into acquiring (or otherwise obtain) standard HTTP content. Setting the secure flag requires that all content sent relative to the cookie be from HTTPS. Hopefully, that makes some sense.
