23- Django Session Expire on Browser Close

By default, Django keeps your sessions even if you close the browser. To change this behaviour, just add the following line in your settings. py

SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE=True

However, There might be existing sessions in the session store. We need to clean them up first. Comment out SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE=True. Restart Apache server.

#SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE=True
SESSION_COOKIE_AGE = 5 # 5 seconds for testing
SESSION_SAVE_EVERY_REQUEST = True

You will see in 5 seconds, session will be deleted. Now delete those 2 lines and just leave SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE=True. Now it must work properly.

SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE=True
