If you use your email account many times, as in Gmail, you may have noticed that when we are going to send an email we meet CC and CCO. Actually, you are very likely to use them when you use your email account. Even though many people don't really know what these two terms mean.
That is why, below we show you everything there is to know about CC and BCC. Since they are options that we find in our day to day, that in several cases we use, but we do not really know the origin or the meaning they have. We answer this below.
These two terms have a lot in common and it is common for us to use them in our email account. That is why it is good to know more about them and what they mean, since it is very likely that we will use them in our case. At the same time, if you want to know a little more about the origin of this type of function, it is interesting to have access to this data.

What is CC and what is it used for on our account?
When we are going to send an email to our account, we have to have access to a recipient. But next to this option is the CC option., on which we have to click to be able to use it. In Spanish, when we talk about CC, it is translated as with a copy, but its original meaning is that of carbon copy, so it has its origin in the time when typewriters were used.
At that time, it was normal for carbon paper will be used between the two sheets. From this dynamic, an original and a copy of the document in question are obtained. This is something that is also transferred in the current case, when we use this option when sending an email from our email account, whether personal or work.
If we use CC in a message, it means that we include in this message a person who we long for it is important that you know that we have sent it. It may be that someone asks us to send them a message, so we also send a copy to this person, so they know that we have done it. This person will be able to access said email normally, they will receive the same email that you have sent.
What is CCO and what can we use it for?
On the other hand, at the same time as the CC option that we discussed in the previous chapter, we also find the option of CCO. Possibly many will think that there is a link between the two terms, and this is true. Even though it should be noted that it consists of two different terms, so they are not exactly the same.
When we talk about the Bcc option that we find in Gmail, can be translated as blind copy, at least it is the most common translation of this concept. We can also translate it as "Carbon Copy", we usually find both when we yearn to know more about it. The origin of this term or this translation has its origin before the existence of the Internet. The papers that were copied were used in the past, so the last sheet (of tracing paper) was used for filing or hiding in the company. A private copy in this circumstance, which was not always recorded.

When we use the Bcc option in our account, we want someone to have proof that we have sent this email. But we do not want the main recipient to know that we have also sent this email to a person. In this way, if you send an email to a person, but you want another to also see it, without the first one knowing. In this specific circumstance, which can be common at times, we use this option in Gmail or in our email account.
