Description

If a user has been manually deleted from the database or no longer exists for whatever reason, a cookie - that normally gets deleted during logout - should be automatically cleared from the Browser.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the user authentication flow: when a request comes in, check if the user exists in the database; if not, clear the authentication cookie. Look for where the user is fetched and how the cookie is set.
