Does clear history when Firefox closes delete all types of cookies or just history related ones?

Assuming I check Clear History When Firefox Closes and also the Cookies option in that section, will I be deleting when closing all the cookies on my system, just like when I select Cookies and Site Data/Clear Data? Or are the History-related cookies only some of the cookies put on my system? I have never seen much information on the types of cookies there are, if that has a meaning.
