Google Analytics uses many different cookies. Only a few can be considered “Functional” (also known as strictly necessary). Example: https://cookiedatabase.org/cookie/google-analytics/_gat_/

Most cookies placed by Google are indeed used for the purpose of statistics or marketing/tracking. The purpose of the _ga cookie is statistics.
