For tenon corks I use contact glue, brand name here in Germany „Pattex“, in the original „Classic“ formulation, a thick, pulpy liquid, spread out with a small spatula, not the non- dripping gel variety. For pads: shellac as repeatedly detailed in this forum. And for corks on metal keys for some time now I find cyanoacrylate „superglue“ the most convenient (I wonder why it hasn't been mentioned here).
Btw., I've never had problems with corks coming loose because of the old fashioned tenon grooves all of the older German clarinets have. The remaining surface seems, at least with Pattex, to be sufficient for good cohesion, of course after thoroughly degreasing it with acetone.
