of ``request.session`` as described above in `using sessions in views`_.



.. note::



    Some browsers (Chrome, for example) provide settings that allow users to

    continue browsing sessions after closing and re-opening the browser. In

    some cases, this can interfere with the

    :setting:`SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE` setting and prevent sessions

    from expiring on browser close. Please be aware of this while testing

    Django applications which have the

    :setting:`SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE` setting enabled.
