Is "magasin" a false cognate or a false friend to "magasin""magazine"

Our teacher said that magasin"magasin" was a false cognate to "magazine" (which obviously does not mean store), but Wikipedia confuses me with the terms false friend and false cognate. Which is it?

Please do not respond in French as I just began learning it, thanks.
