What is the problem with my selenium python code?

Question

I was trying to scrap data from a web page. This is the LINK. I have successfully filled the selection form with selenium by this data and clicked the button marked with red line. (given in picture)

after that I got another page like this.

I also successfully clicked the first link from the list! But then comes the problem! The next page generated and I tried to scrap the company name and address with email but the page data can't be fetched with Selenium!

The page look like this and I am trying to scrap red marked data

I am giving my code. Can anyone please tell me what was my mistake?

Generally when you go to another page your previous elements become stale. — Arundeep Chohan

tu t'emmerdes avec selenium, tu devrais juste bf les résultats, aiohttp + beautifulsoup — Loïc

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 20)
driver.get('https://www.outils.ffbatiment.fr/federation-francaise-du-batiment/laffb/annuaire.html')

# Clicks the accept button
try:
    wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div#cookiescript_accept"))).click()
except:
    pass

sl1= driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//*[@id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderGlobal_ContentPlaceHolderContenu_DDL_SectAct"]')
selectOne = Select(sl1)
selectOne.select_by_value('1')

sl2= driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//*[@id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderGlobal_ContentPlaceHolderContenu_DDL_Act"]')
selectTwo = Select(sl2)
selectTwo.select_by_value('704')

sl3=driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//*[@id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderGlobal_ContentPlaceHolderContenu_DDL_Departement"]')
selectThree = Select(sl3)
selectThree.select_by_value('85')

button = driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//*[@id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderGlobal_ContentPlaceHolderContenu_Button1"]')
button.click()

getData = driver.find_element(By.XPATH,'//*[@id="ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderGlobal_ContentPlaceHolderContenu_RadGrid1_ctl00"]/tbody')
getTr = getData.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, "tr")

print("size ", len(getTr))
length = len(getTr)+1
for i in range(1,length):
    driver.find_element(By.XPATH,f"(//tr[@class='rgRow']//a)[{i}]").click()
    address = [x.text for x in driver.find_elements(By.XPATH,'//*[starts-with(@id,"ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolderGlobal_ContentPlaceHolderContenu_FormView1_Ent_AdresseLabel")]')]
    address=''.join(map(str, address))
    print(address)
    driver.back()
    driver.refresh()

Handle the accept button when it pops up.
When looping through the 20 or so items that come up make sure to use the index and grab that item to click.
When getting a new page make sure to reget elements.
When getting the company, address make sure you get all of the information.
When going back a page make sure to refresh to resend all the information.

I didn't do them all but this is a good start for you to figure how to handle elements when going through pages. Remember if you can't find an element to handle it properly.
