There should be an option similar to the Cookie Acceptance option wether the
HTTP referrer is automatically sent or not.

Another good option would be to just send a HTTP referrer to the same
website/host name:

  Source                  Destination           Sending Referrer? (Reason)
 
===============================================================================
  http://example.com/  -> http://example.com/   true  (same host name)
  http://example.com/  -> http://example.net/   false (different host names)
  https://example.com/ -> http://example.com/   false (HTTP to HTTPS)
  https://example.com/ -> https://example.com/  true  (same scheme and host
name)
  https://example.com/ -> https://example.net/  false (different host names)
