The web server does not associate you as a person, but your web browser. In fact, if you usually browse with Internet Explorer and try browsing the same website with Firefox or Chrome you will see that the website does not realise that you are the same person, because it is actually associating the browser, not the person.

What types of cookies are there?

    navigation you are doing, the sections you use the most,
