Auth Cookie Middleware Documentation¶

This middleware automatically clears unnecessary cookies from the response to keep the client's session clean and secure. It handles cookies in a way that ensures optimal security and performance without requiring manual intervention.

Installation¶

The Auth Cookie Middleware is automatically integrated into your project and does not require any manual setup from the user. It will work out-of-the-box as long as the middleware package is correctly installed.

Once the package is installed and configured in the MIDDLEWARE setting, it will automatically clear unnecessary cookies from the response.

    # ... other middleware
    'dj_waanverse_auth.middleware.auth.AuthCookieMiddleware',
]

How It Works¶

The middleware intercepts the response before it is sent back to the client. It looks for any unnecessary or outdated authentication-related cookies and removes them. This helps in keeping the session data clean and secure.
