Building a code

Everything on the encoder happens in your browser. Toggling a category, setting a level, adding a modifier — none of it is sent anywhere. There is no account, no login, and no database. This site has no server-side storage attached to it at all.

If you close the tab without copying your code, it is gone. That is a deliberate trade: nothing to leak is better than a convenient account.

Sharing a code

This is the part worth understanding properly. When you share a code, the code is the link — it sits in the URL itself, as in spectrumcodex.com/decode/Ss+++_M++.

That means when you or anyone else opens a shared link, the code travels to the server as part of the request, the same way every web address does. It may appear in ordinary server request logs. It will also sit in browser history, in whatever app you sent it through, and in any link preview that app generates.

So: sharing a code is publishing it to whoever holds the link. Treat it the way you would treat any other message about yourself — not as a private record. We do not store shared codes, but we cannot make a URL you have sent to someone else forget itself.

Shared profile pages are marked noindex, so search engines are asked not to list them. That keeps them out of search results; it does not make them secret.

What is stored on your device

One thing, briefly. If you open a decoded profile and choose to edit it in the encoder, the code is handed over using your browser's sessionStorage and removed as soon as it is read. Session storage is cleared when you close the tab. There are no cookies and no persistent local storage.

Tracking

None. This site loads no analytics scripts, no advertising scripts, no social widgets, and no third-party fonts — the fonts are served from this domain. Nothing on the page phones home about you.

The site is hosted on Cloudflare, which — like any web host — processes the requests needed to serve pages.

What this is not

Spectrum Codex is not a diagnostic tool, not a clinical instrument, and not a medical record. Nothing you enter is reviewed by anyone. If you want a formal assessment, that is a conversation with a clinician, not a web form.
