Difference between CORE and ECID , how to set up Identity Map

What is the difference? Should I set up Core and ECID in Tags in Identity Map? 

Should I put ECID into Identity Map if it should be retrieved through Data Collection?

According to the documentation, the CORE namespace is used when third-party cookies are enabled and the value is stored in a demdex domain cookie instead of the ECID.
