A cookie is a small text file stored in your browser that websites use to remember who you are and what you prefer. 00kk uses several types of cookies.

Cookie Types

• Essential Cookies: Login sessions and security tokens — the site cannot function properly without these.
• Functional Cookies: To remember your language preference or display settings.
• Analytics Cookies: Anonymous statistics on how many times each page has been viewed — used to improve the site.

Cookie Controls

You can delete existing cookies or block new ones through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect login functionality or certain features. Manage your cookies via the settings in Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. For more details, refer to your browser's help page.

To protect your data, 00kk maintains security measures at both the technical and organisational level.

Technical Security

• HTTPS Encryption: All data transmitted to and from the site is protected with SSL/TLS encryption.
• Password Hashing: Your password is not stored directly — it is kept as a one-way hash.
• Access Control: Access to the database is restricted to authorized personnel only.
• Regular Updates: Software is updated regularly to address security vulnerabilities.

Limitations of Our Security Measures

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. 00kk takes every reasonable precaution, but cannot guarantee that a data breach will never occur. In the event of a security breach that puts your data at risk, you will be notified as quickly as possible.
