1) Yes, the browser does not send a special signal to your website saying the user has closed their browser. There is no way to detect precisely when a user terminates their session. 2) If you want to erase carts from expired sessions, then you need to periodically (every hour, 30 minutes) purge your sessions. This (realistically) has to happen from outside of the webserver (google: django celery), and should find session objects whose expiry time has been reached, look inside the session for carts and remove the cart if there, before finally deleting the session object.
