I will look into correcting this however in my initial reading there is extremely low amount of risk here. Ganglia Web uses cookies only for things like

- Aggregate graphs input field arguments e.g. host regex, metric regex
- Which Tab you have open
etc.

There is no risk on session hijack as we do not use cookies for authentication.
