Tags and segments
Edit onTags and segments are used to divide a subscriber list into parts that can be targeted by an email campaign.

Tags only need a name, that should describe what the tag says about a user. For example, a tag's name could be "bought-product-A", which would be assigned to subscribers that have bought a certain item in your (web)shop. Users can be assigned multiple tags.

Tags can be assigned to users manually by clicking their email address in the subscriber list, or automatically when they subscribe through a form, read about this here.
