Public task is also a legitimate reason to process your data, where it is in the public interest to do so.

  5. Third Party Ad Servers. We may allow third party ad servers or ad networks to display advertisements on the Site. Some of these ad networks may place a persistent cookie on your computer or use other technologies such as JavaScript and web beacons. Doing this allows them to recognise your computer each time they send you an online advertisement.
