Picking up meteor.js user logout

Question

Is there any way to pick up when a user logs out of the website? I need to do some clean up when they do so. Using the built-in meteor.js user accounts.

The answer provided by @saimeunt looks about right, but it is a bit fluffy for what I needed. Instead I went with a very simple approach like this:

if (Meteor.isClient) {
    Deps.autorun(function () {
        if(!Meteor.userId())
        {
            Session.set('store', null);
        }
    });
}

This is however triggered during a page load if the user has not yet logged in, which might be undesirable. So you could go with something like this instead:

if (Meteor.isClient) {
    var userWasLoggedIn = false;
    Deps.autorun(function (c) {
        if(!Meteor.userId())
        {
            if(userWasLoggedIn)
            {
                console.log('Clean up');
                Session.set('store', null);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            userWasLoggedIn = true;
        }
    });
}
