Problem
Currently, upon refresh of the
Group membership required
error page it changes to ahttp: named cookie not present
error page. Related issue: #94Solution
We currently remove the CSRF token from the request after getting and assigning it to a new variable. If, further down the flow the request is found to be invalid for some reason (in this case, the user not being in the required groups) then the relevant error page is given. Upon refresh it tries to grab the CSRF token again however it's no longer part of the request, and so it errors in a less helpful and informative way.
Instead, only clear the CSRF token once we know the request has passed the various checks
