Yeah, silicone-like adhesive. It sits on top of a cabinet, and that’s exactly how the manufacturer says to install it. Toilet seat got glued in as well.
Even still, our toilets in the US are bolted to the floor and only sealed with caulking along the floor to keep water from pooling underneath and rotting the floor. With our American diets, we rely on the structural rigidity of metal bolts to keep things in place during our massive dumps
This came with installation hardware too, but a lot of new toilets don’t even have holes for bolts nowadays. The adhesive is more than sufficient to hold it down to the floor tiles. The silicone caulking I use to tidy it up afterwards just adds to that hold.
The main reason to not use bolts is to avoid drilling into the floor and puncturing the water proofing membrane or floor heat pipes/cables.
When toilets are bolted to the floor you don’t drill into the floor, the bolts are captive in a pre installed toilet flange that was placed before the flooring was installed.
Did you mount the sink with glue?

seatgot glued in as well.I’ve gotta see a picture of this too. I’ve never seen a toilet seat that wasn’t bolted to the toilet.
First time for everything. It’s a friction fit.
But yeah I mean the toilet. In my language toilet refers to the entire room and toilet seat is the thing you shit into.
I see what you mean now.

you don’t put in a wax ring?
Yeah thats just a seal to keep the poop in but not what holds it down to the floor (mostly).
Only on our giant asses.
Yes, we have that

Modern adhesives are pretty insanely strong.
But it’s also the big reason first time installers struggle. They tighten those bolts too much and crack three porcelain.
Oh, it’s a cabinet sink. That makes more sense now.
Yeah, I thought it was a wall-mount too until reading OPs comments
Toilet seat got glued down? Are you a vengeful sitzpinkler?
I meant the toilet itself.
And yes.
I think the sink just sits on the cabinet. They are often glued on or just held on by the silicone. This sink probably has mounting holes tho
