In your settings.py you can define TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS setting.

However, django has defined default values for this setting which is

("django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth",
"django.core.context_processors.debug",
"django.core.context_processors.i18n",
"django.core.context_processors.media",
"django.core.context_processors.static",
"django.core.context_processors.tz",
"django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages")

If you want to add your custom template context processor which maintaining the default processors, you can do following in settings.py

import django.conf.global_settings as DEFAULT_SETTINGS

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = DEFAULT_SETTINGS.TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS + (
    'custom_context_processors.my_context_processor',
)

Refer TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS doc.
