Nginx – Django admin csrf token not set

I have a Django project working locally with login to the admin portal working. Once the project has been deployed to our development environment the pages that do not require CSRF authentication are viewable, but the admin portal returns a CSRF token error when attempting to login.
Error received: CSRF cookie not set
The project is meant to be deployed to a subdomain (ie https://project.myapp.com) with the development/staging version deployed to a different subdomain (https://project.dev.myapp.com).

Subset of the settings.py:

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']
CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE = False


INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.gis',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'django_object_actions',
]

MIDDLEWARE = (
    'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
)

Originally I assumed that the issue was due to the project being deployed on a subdomain and followed the documentation for csrf and added the CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS = ['https://*.myapp.com'] to the settings but the issue persists.

I also tried setting the CSRF_COOKIE_DOMAIN setting to either .myapp.com or to .dev.myapp.com but continue to see the same issue.

I had also seen people mention the django.template.context_processors.csrf option to add to the TEMPLATES context_processors and tried that, but this also had no effect.

When looking at the request to the /admin/login view, a csrfmiddlewaretoken is included, but nothing is being set in the browser.

Is there a different setting I’m missing?

P.S.
The deployment is run with uwsgi behind nginx but since the pages are all still served properly I’m (maybe incorrectly) assuming the issue doesn’t lie there.

Edit:
Adding the NGINX config files being used – im not very well versed in NGINX but I don’t believe anything would be stripping the cookie header.
