Closing the tab or window does not count as closing the browser. Make sure you quit the browser program to end a browser session.
If that does not help, use FireBug in firefox or Web Inspector in Safari to double check the headers in the response on your initial page hit. The initial page hit can be one of many things; when you first open the browser, when you logout or immediately after clearing cookies. With SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE = True you should see something like this in the header:
Set-Cookie:sessionid=f4c06139bc46a10e1a30d5f0ab7773e2; Path=/
And when SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE = False an expires=... value will be added:
Set-Cookie:sessionid=a532f3d7dc314afc58e8f676ed72280e; expires=Wed, 03-Nov-2010 17:08:45 GMT; Max-Age=1209600; Path=/
If you have a hard time seeing the Set-Cookie header because of redirects you can try using django-debug-toolbar to break the redirects up into multiple pages.

@istruble and @haasfsafas are both correct. The solution is to
- Set
SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE = True - Delete the rows in the
django_sessiontable to clear out any sessions that might cause confusion. (delete from django_session) - Recognize that all of the windows and tabs in your browser must be closed in order for the session to expire. That’s browser behavior; not Django behavior.

For anyone who still doesn’t fix the issue after trying all the above solutions, here is one more.
Add this SESSION_ENGINE = 'django.contrib.sessions.backends.cache' along with the SESSION_EXPIRE_AT_BROWSER_CLOSE = True
It works out for me, good luck folks.
