I've only encountered the latter described as fingerprinting. Which makes sense side, like fingerprints, the information is being used to uniquely identify an individual.
The former is traditional analytics and is not enough to uniquely identify an individual.
Not all analytics are as privacy invasive as fingerprinting.

shockingly little information is required to uniquely identify someone.
"traditional analytics" (lets just say os + browser + some hardware info) is likely to be uniquely identifying when combined with just one other sparse dataset.

fingerprinting isn't a separate category of analytics. every data point can be (and often is) used for fingerprinting.
