Simply starting a browser with JS or cookies enabled will not
automatically disclose your identity. They do however provide a
mechanism by which it can occur. If you haven't visited any websites yet
then you can safely turn off the undesired features without being
compromised.

You should be aware that neither Tor nor any other proxy can guarantee
you 100% anonymity. You will need to take care not to compromise
yourself, especially if you believe you are being actively watched. If
you are connecting to a public relay then it will be obvious that you
are using Tor; finding a bridge in your own region may be the safest
course of action.
