I'm reading a bit more. I think the explanation (or at least one explanation) 
is that an attacker could impersonate the HTTP version of the site before the 
redirection to HTTPS. Hence we can't be sure that we are setting the cookie 
securely.

I think `location.protocol === 'https'` would not work as it would not protect 
us from those edge cases that `secure` is supposed to be about. I'll put a 
variable to signal that we are in production and use that.
