Usually tile adhesive or mortar.
Tile adhesive comes in a can or a tube. It is especially good for a back splash and smaller craft items- especially ones that aren't flat. It does have a Stong odor.
Mortar (Thinset) can be mixed from a dry powder or comes premixed in a container. It is good where there is heat, water and in large areas like floors. It has just a little odor. It does take a bit of practice to do correctly.
In addition there is tile mat that has a glue surface. It works great for very small tiles and mosaic as the design is set on the glue surface prior to sticking on the wall. Best on flat surfaces.
It is your choice and does depend on the surface function and how you want it to look to some extent. Read up a little and you find just the adhesion for your project.
