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 <img src="https://example.com/account/logout/"> 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 <form> from the intermediate signout page:

<form method="post" action="{% url 'account_logout' %}">  {% csrf_token %}  {% if redirect_field_value %}    <input type="hidden" name="{{ redirect_field_name }}" value="{{ redirect_field_value }}"/>  {% endif %}  <button class="STYLE_ME" type="submit">Logout</button></form>

In my case, I just added this to the site header and made the submit <button> 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

Here's another shortcut for preserving the POST request, if you don't want to mess with styling the form button with something like this:

Hide the form:

<form style='display: none;' method="post" action="{% url 'account_logout' %}">  {% csrf_token %}  <input type="hidden" name="next" value="/redirect_target/"/>  <button id="signOutBtn" type="submit">Logout</button></form>

Submit with a click event attached to whatever element you've already styled:

$(document).on('click', '#signOutLink', function() {    $('#signOutBtn').click()});
