Subsidy codes

This is just to satisfy my curiosity (my phone is not locked), I always
believed that subsidy codes were coded into the handset by the manufacturer
for the phone provider. The manufacturer kept a database of the codes
matched to imei numbers and that the phone provider obtained the subsidy
code from the manufacturer and then "sold" it to the customer.
If I am right, how can commercial websites offer to provide subsidy codes to
someone who gives them the imei number. Or am I completely wrong and it is
just an algorithm based on the imei number ?
