It's JavaScript that causes it (you could choose to disable it [0]). The FAQ [1] warns of it:
But there's a third issue: websites can easily determine whether you have allowed JavaScript for them, and if you disable JavaScript by default but then allow a few websites to run scripts (the way most people use NoScript), then your choice of whitelisted websites acts as a sort of cookie that makes you recognizable (and distinguishable), thus harming your anonymity.

Until we get there, feel free to leave JavaScript on or off depending on your security, anonymity, and usability priorities.
