I'm not sure if this is against security standards. From bug 29898 comment 2 by

If it is reasonable to allow HTTP users to use HTTPS for login and then be
redirected back to HTTP, then it is also reasonable to allow a user who started
on HTTPS, and logged in on HTTPS, to retain their cookies in HTTP too.

I will wait for further input from others.
