 <p>For site-wide cookies regardless of how your site is requested, add your URL to the <strong>domain</strong> starting with a period, like this:  .your-domain.com</p>
 <p>The path is usually not needed since the function sets a root path.</p>
 <p>The prefix is only needed if you need to avoid name collisions with other identically named cookies for your server.</p>
+<p>The secure boolean is only needed if you want to make it a secure cookie by setting it to TRUE.</p>
 
 <h4>Discrete Parameters</h4>
 
 <p>If you prefer, you can set the cookie by passing data using individual parameters:</p>
 
-<code>$this->input->set_cookie($name, $value, $expire, $domain, $path, $prefix);</code>
