Using a GET request is probably a bad idea due to browsers prefetching urls from the URL bar. Chrome (as of right now) is pretty bad for this; it'll send a GET request to pages it think you'll hit enter on when typing in your URL bar.

Plus, people can add a link such as and you'll be logged out. That's not a security risk since it's logging you out, but it is certainly annoying for your users.

Instead, you should consider using a POST request using a form with CSRF. Django Allauth already comes with this. Here's the

from the intermediate signout page:

  {% csrf_token %}
  {% if redirect_field_value %}
    
  {% endif %}
  Logout

In my case, I just added this to the site header and made the submit look like every other link using CSS so it feels the same to them, but the form will use a POST request.

But if that's not a solution you can implement for any reason, open your settings.py file (or your main settings file) and set:

ACCOUNT_LOGOUT_ON_GET = True 

^ The above setting will do what you need. For further Django Allauth settings, check out their configuration page at https://django-allauth.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration.html?highlight=ACCOUNT_LOGOUT_ON_GET
