How is Tor able to know if a client is unique or not ?

Each 6 hours, my tor bridge says “I have seen X unique clients.”.

But how does it know if a client is unique or not ?

To know if a client is new or not it would need to keep old clients IP, which would be really bad for security right ?

So then how is it able to know if it’s a new client or not ?
