Links to other websites

This website may contain links to the websites of other providers. Our practice has no influence over these websites, their content, offerings or availability, nor over the data protection statements and provisions applicable to them, and therefore accepts no responsibility for them.

Cookies and other services

Our practice may use cookies on its website. Cookies contain a unique identifier that links websites and servers to a specific web browser. Any web browser can be recognised and identified by means of this unique identifier.

Analytics or security services may sometimes rely on artificial intelligence (AI), for example to analyse access to websites or detect spam.

Our practice may use automated procedures, including AI-based systems, as part of website analysis or technical security.

This type of information about the use of the website (including your IP address) may be transmitted to and stored on servers abroad, for example when Google Analytics is used. By continuing to browse our website, you agree to the transmission of this data.

Our practice may use third-party providers to offer their content and services, such as videos or contributions, on its website. To do so, these providers must be able to collect the IP address and other information about people who visit this website. By continuing to browse our website, you agree to the above.

This website may contain buttons (“social media plug-ins”) that establish a connection with the servers of social networks (Facebook, X, Instagram, etc.). By clicking on one of these buttons, you consent to the necessary data, such as your IP address and the fact that you visited this website, being transmitted to the operator of the social network concerned.

If you contact us through the communication channels offered on our website, your contact details and the content of your message will only be used to process and respond to your request.
