If I understand correctly, you just need to set SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE = True in your settings: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/http/sessions/#browser-length-sessions-vs-persistent-sessions
When the user closes their browser, the session ends. True, the associated data isn't deleted right when this happens (the server has no way of knowing when the user has done this), but that data will no longer be associated with anyone. If you're particularly concerned about the data not going to disk, you can use a cached session engine (with memcached) , as Javier suggests: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/http/sessions/#using-cached-sessions It may help to know a little bit more about what you're trying to accomplish. Is your concern security or user experience related? _Nik On 1/19/2013 12:03 PM, testbackupa...@gmail.com wrote: > Hi, > > I've got some data that I'll need read/write access to for the length > of an authenticated session's lifetime.
