They also do not use lard for cooking and some even do not wear or use products make from animals, such as wool, leather, furs and things like that.

Vegan, in terms of food, means no eating meat, animal milk/dairy products, eggs, or any other animal products.
It can also be extended to not buying fur, leather, or cosmetics tested on animals.
Technically vegan refers to a lifestyle whereby all products that have involved the use of animals (in any manner) are abstained from. It's commonly used to refer to diet, meaning no animal products (e.g. meat) OR animal by-products (e.g. milk). It also however extends to clothing, cosmetics and many every day items such as candles.
In contrast, vegetarians abstain from produce from the slaughter of an animal - so no meat but eggs and milk are fine. This normally also extends to lifestyle - i.e. no leather but wool is fine.
