Does this table need to be purged or is it taken care automatically by Django?

Django does NOT provide automatic purging. There is however a handy command available to help you do it manually: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/sessions/#clearing-the-session-store

python manage.py clearsessions
