Terps, white spirit or even oilflow (window cleaners know this stuff).
Apply to cloth then dab the glue, you just want enough to dampen the area. Leave 5-10 minutes then gentle rub/blot away.

Bazooka or Chemspec Liqua Gel is what I would grab off the shelf.
One Step Zap It is good for this too.
Nice hot water rinse after.

Be aware that there are some tape adhesives which you just can't remove 100%.

I had one on a synthetic and it had discoloured the carpet. It was actually lighter underneath than what was exposed to the daylight. So you may not be able to.
