Hardware wallets are offline wallets. It means they are not connected to the Internet when you are using them to make transaction.
This is incorrect. Although you can use a hardware wallet offline, most users connect it to an online computer. Ledger nowadays can even "call home" and send your recovery phrase to Ledger.

Ledger is a cold storage wallet.
It's not. Cold storage means the device is never connected to the internet.
