I actually thought it was a pretty decent caveat when writing for a non-technical audience. They're listing a bunch of different technologies that are (almost all the time) legally equivalent to cookies in the EU. And in EU privacy writing it's already common to use "cookies" to describe this whole area.

(The main exception to their list is scripts, which are only cookie-like to the extent that they use cookies or other client side storage)
