But if the key is added to the link itself then you could be storing the encrypted string and decrypting it after getting a request for a link that contained the key.

I'm not accusing you of that - just saying there is no way to prove that's not happening.

The part of the URL holding the encryption key is not sent to the server. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14462218/is-the-url-frag...

Don't take my word for it :) You can check all code that runs in your browser and check all requests made within the network tab.
