Not every time, just randomly.

The behaviour is defined by these directives:

session.gc_probability
session.gc_divisor
session.gc_maxlifetime

From manual:

"session.gc_divisor coupled with session.gc_probability defines the
probability that the gc (garbage collection) process is started on every
session initialization. The probability is calculated by using
gc_probability/gc_divisor, e.g. 1/100 means there is a 1% chance that the
GC process starts on each request. session.gc_divisor defaults to 100."
