Django Cookie Filter
Django middleware which removes all unwanted cookies - useful for improving cache hit ratios when analytics cookies interfere with caching.
Installation
Using pip:
$ pip install django-cookiefilterEdit your Django project's settings module, and add the middleware to the start of MIDDLEWARE:
MIDDLEWARE = [
"cookiefilter.middleware.CookieFilterMiddleware",
# ...
]Note
The middleware should be added before UpdateCacheMiddleware, as it uses the value of
HTTP_COOKIES which needs to be modified.
Configuration
Out of the box the standard Django cookie names will work without any other configuration. However
if your project uses different or additional cookie names, edit COOKIEFILTER_ALLOWED in your
project's settings module:
COOKIEFILTER_ALLOWED = [
"analytics",
"csrftoken",
"django_language",
"messages",
"sessionid",
]
