Information about our session cookies#

  • sAccessToken: This is the session's access token which is used in each API call to verify that the user was authenticated and to get their user ID.

  • sRefreshToken: This is the session's refresh token which is used to get a new access (and refresh token) when the existing access token expires.

  • sIdRefreshToken: Used to detect if a session is alive.

  • sFrontToken: Used to access a session's access token payload and user ID on the frontend without exposing the sAccessToken.

  • sAntiCsrf: Used to prevent CSRF attacks.

  • sIRTFrontend: Used by the frontend to know if a session exists, and when the refresh token has changed, without actually being able to read the value of sRefreshToken.
