Information concerning the partner programme (Referrer System, Affiliate Programme)

This documentation is chiefly targeted at Webmasters who wish to include deep links in our pages, and at technically competent page operators who wish to know exactly when individualization facilities are provided by our affiliate and partner programmes. However, the Link Creator should normally meet all requirements. We offer you the following three opportunities to earn money by your Internet presence with our products:

  1. As a partner of one of the broker pools, agent associations or marketing companies who cooperate with us (for example: Maxpool, Jung, DMS & Cie, Impuls GmbH, MLP), you do not require a direct general agreement with us either. In this case, enquire with your broker pool or your marketing company how contracts arranged through us are settled.
  2. Insurance brokers, insurance agents, ad hoc advisers have to conclude a general agreement with us. You can find detailed information under “Becoming a partner”.
  3. Tippgeber wie z.B. Sprachschulen, Au-Pair Agenturen, Reisebüros, Internet-Portalbetreiber und Visum-Agenturen können eine Tippgebervereinbarung mit uns abzuschließen. Informationen dazu finden Sie unter 'Partner werden'.

As soon as you meet one of the above-mentioned conditions, you are able to include our products in or link them to your Internet page. In order to facilitate establishment of the required link and code snippet for the advertising banner inclusion, we make our Link Creator available to you. This takes you step-by-step through all necessary information.

Technical implementation/security

Whenever a visitor reaches our product page via your link, your ad hoc adviser/agency/agent number and your e-mail address (optional) are stored in a session cookie. When concluding a contract, this ensures that your identity code is entered in the online application form. We store and hand over the ad hoc adviser number on security grounds with the aid of two different methods (link attachments and session cookies) and thus guarantee that due allowance is made for your intervention. Unlike in the case of cookies, the use of session cookies cannot be prevented by visitors to the page.

Navigation choice of language [navilang]

You are free to choose between five languages for the overriding navigation as well as product navigation. Whilst the substance can be determined irrespective of the document language, it is normally based on the navigation language. The differentiation between document language and navigation language results in the fact that, when selecting a document which has not yet been translated, navigation can be left in the previously selected language. When selecting a page in a language version which has not been keyed in, the customer is shown a special page in the language chosen by him and which lists the documents offered in the selected language at this tariff and the languages in which he is able to view the page in question. All tariff initial pages and all online applications are available in five languages. In the case of the majority of products, nearly all sub-pages are available in five languages. This ensures that the visitor is able to inform himself in the language best suited to him in order to conclude a contract. A detailed list of the links can be found under the item blank pages/white label.

White label/blank pages [blanko]

If you wish to offer our products on your Internet page, you are able either to place a link on our page or to integrate our contents without our logo and colour scheme (corporate identity). The white label pages have been designed in order to be integrated in existing Internet pages. Naming the product provider has been dispensed with and a neutral design has been chosen. Furthermore, the design has been perfectly adapted to the own page design by selection of a colour scheme or the setting up of an adapted CSS file.
This ensures that your customer remains on your page and activates your and not our page of the favourites/markers also in the event of a subsequent visit. We recommend integration in a frame or iframe.Further information

Overriding product navigation [navi]

You yourself are able to determine via the variable “navi” whether your visitors are shown a navigation to further products. If you include in your Internet page links to all tariff pages, fading in of navigation is not necessarily required, but nevertheless advisable. Only fade in the product overview or the tariff finder, save your visitors with the aid of the overriding product navigation unnecessary clicks in order to look at alternatives.

In order to enable you to adapt the selection to your target group, we offer you three different variants:

  1. All products – All products which can be concluded online are shown in the table.
  2. All products including tariff finder – The tariff finder is faded in in addition to the product table.
  3. Incoming only – Only products targeted at travellers in Germany or Austria are listed.
  4. Outgoing only – Only products targeted at German and Austrian nationals abroad are listed.

Full masking of the overriding product navigation is only advisable provided your circle of visitors is sufficiently homogeneous in such a manner that only one single tariff is involved (e.g. au pair agencies). However, the fact has to be borne in mind that there are special cases in which it may make sense to offer alternatives also in the case of fairly homogeneous visitors. For example, an au pair staying abroad may be visited by her parents who are also searching for a suitable product on your page.
