[[Wikipedia:List of policies]] breaks it down quite nicely.

"Behavioural" policies apply to all behaviour, obviously. "Content and
style" policies apply to content, so everything in the main namespace,
and any content in the portal namespace, etc. Basically, if it's
content that we're presenting as part of the encyclopaedia, the
content policies apply to it.

The other categories are similarly self-explanatory.
