Every call in the MyAccount REST API uses two cookies for authentication:

UltraCartMerchantId - Merchant ID

UltraCartShoppingCartId - Cart ID

var redirectToLogin = function () {
  var location_href = "index.html";
  if (location.hash && location.hash.length > 0) {
    location_href += "?hash=" + location.hash.substring(1);
  }
  location.href = location_href;
};
jQuery(document).ajaxError(function (event, xhr) {
  if (xhr.status == 401)
    redirectToLogin();
});
