The logout process typically involves the client removing the JWT (e.g., deleting the cookie or removing it from local storage). On the server-side, you might invalidate the JWT or the associated refresh token (if implemented) to prevent its reuse. You can also implement a mechanism to revoke refresh tokens stored in a database to make sure they cannot be used even if they have been stolen.
