Django HTTP Referrer Policy

django-referrer-policy provides a middleware class implementing the Referrer-Policy header for Django-powered sites.

Note: Starting from Django v3.0, Django itself has default support of Referrer-Policy header in SecurityMiddleware via setting variable SECURE_REFERRER_POLICY.

Documentation

The full documentation is at https://django-http-referrer-policy.readthedocs.io.

Quickstart

Install Django HTTP Referrer Policy:

pip install django-http-referrer-policy

Add Django HTTP Referrer Policy Middleware to your settings:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    ...
    'django_http_referrer_policy.middleware.ReferrerPolicyMiddleware',
    ...
]

Optional: provide variable REFERRER_POLICY to your settings with valid value if default value 'no-referrer-when-downgrade' does not suit to you:

REFERRER_POLICY = 'no-referrer'
