The floating favourites button opens the “My favourites” list at any time.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Answered briefly - for anything else, just get in touch.
Does it work without a login?
Yes. For guests the preferences are stored via a session token; for logged-in customers they persist on the account.
Are rated products still shown?
Only if you want. The “Hide already-rated products” option removes them from the listing.
Is the mobile presentation different?
Optionally: on mobile you can choose between the standard listing and a full-screen single-card slider.
