Not true.  Cookies for secure sites, as long as they are session only, are
supposed to be stored in memory.

Of course, if they can copy the URL, they can also look at the  
cookies and copy them.  You can add a separate cookie of your own and  
cross validate them, but that only makes it harder.  Or, if it is  
available, you can keep the user's IP in their session and check that  
the IP of each new request matches it.  But, at some point, all of  
this can be spoofed.
